Hello All,

Another first time poster with a diamond question. My girlfriend really liked a setting we saw in a Blue Nile Showroom (the 1/10 Ct. petite pave in platinum) and I've been trying to find a good value for a 1 Ct. round diamond near the ~$10k mark without overspending. Initially I was methodically scrutinizing the GIA report diagrams and pictures to ensure I couldn't see ANY inclusion, but I realize that is unnecessary and cut is the real king (thanks to resources like beyond4Cs and diamondscreener tools!).

I reserved the following stones in my shopping basket that are in that price range:

I've found other diamonds that meet Beyond4C's depth, table, pavillion, and crown criteria in F/VS1 and above but they start going up to $13-14k. I've filtered out fluorescence thus far.

Any recommendations, evaluations, or alternative suggestions appreciated! Due to liking the setting, I'm fairly certain I will buy from Blue Nile.

Thank You!
 
Of your list, I like the 2nd and 4th stones the best. I also like these.





Blue Nile does sell settings by themselves, so you could buy the stone from another vendor and still get the setting your girlfriend likes. These stones are guaranteed to have superior light return and come with Whiteflash's generous upgrade policy.
