I narrowed my search results to 3 diamonds & I hope if the pricescopers can help me choose.
My favorite is the first one because it has a nice spread. The 1st & 2nd are nearly the same price while the last is 500$ more. Although the last one is E and hence more valuable, but the setting that I have chosen has diamonds of an average color of G-H so am not sure how this will look specially that they are princess cut.
Any help would be appreciated

Pass on the first as it is in the shallow shallow region with the angles, the second looks good within fiery ideal cut range ( FIC) which means you might notice additional fire if the lighting is right - the extrea depth is acceptable in this type of diamond. The third looks good too but a touch deep.
 
2nd one gets my vote. 3rd one has a sl-tk - tk girdle which is hiding weight but angle wise looks good.

Are you going to request an Idealscope image?
 
Thank you all, I really appreciate your inputs. Ill definitely consider diamond 2.
I found few more GIA diamonds and I wish if you compere them to diamond 2.

#4 definitely needs an Idealscope image with that angle combo and the lower girdle facet measurements.

#5 has potential, an IS would be useful also.

#3 looks ok but the table is a bit larger than I prefer.
 
Totally agree with Lorelei''s assessment. Nothing more to add.
 
Thank you for your quick reply. I asked the dealer if they can supply IS images of the last three.Hopefully they will be.

Can you put them in order of most preferred diamonds 2,4,5 & 6 in terms of size, value & light performance?

Thank you again lorelli & stone cold.

Waiting for more Expert opinions
