They look gorgeous! I cannot wait to read which one will the most recommended and why.

BG 1.89 H VS2, 7.90 x 7.93mm, $21,975 credit, $21,316 wire

WF 1.92 H VS2, 7.95 x 7.97mm, $21,754 credit, $21,102 wire

HPD 1.85 H VS2, 7.88 x 7.89mm, $21,307 credit, $20,242 wire

I'd go for the WF stone because it is the largest and closest to 2 cts and costs less than the 1.89. The latter two have a better upgrade policy, too.

I think they'd all be gorgeous but as Diamondseeker said - the WF is slightly bigger so I'd go for that one.

I'd note that HPD has a more generous buy back and I slightly prefer the look of HPD/CBI, but both BGD anD WF have as many supporters. But, WF is the best for size in this lineup and quite close to 2c.

Definitely the WF stone as it is the largest for the money. No doubt they would all be beautiful stones but in the end the cost analysis and better clarity in the center of the stone win for me.

Now that you've narrowed down to 3 diamonds, the next step is to figure out what setting you like and to get the price of the diamond + setting per vendor.

If we are just considering diamonds, WF would be my front runner.

These three are so astonishingly well matched !

Adding a vote for WF because 1 - 9 - 2 has a nice ring to it .-)

Again having dealt with the majority of these vendors, it will be the CBI Crafted By Infinity for me.

Can I throw in a few more important things to think about.
Upgrade and buyback policy is life time
As I live about 10,000 miles away, I need to be 100% confident about my purchase and want no issues during the entire process.

There is only a 1% spread difference from the 1.85 to 1.92, but for me the added value are the people behind the scenes and the upgrade policies. Wink HPD is a dream to work with and has delivered a pair of studs in two weeks including delivery just before Christmas. You wont be disappointed that is for sure. Good luck on whatever you decide to go with.

I have worked with Wink and WF. Both are fabulous!
