All of the diamonds are True Hearts and check the box for what I am looking for. Looking to secure something in the next few days and need some extra opinions on which to choose! Thanks all.

I like the first G.

I don't like the way the F's arrows look and the second G seems to have a greenish tint to it.

Thanks for your reply. Could you give a little additional details around whats wrong with the arrows on the F - not sure I totally follow.

Nothing wrong with them. Just my eyes prefer the g. Also I prefer the clarity of the g as that inclusion in right in the middle of the stone. I'm sure probably eye clean. But I just looking st the two prefer the G

Got it. Thanks - any other opinions?

 

[rlg0928]

Experts, please chime in. I want to purchase soon but a little unsure which way to go. Thanks!

I agree with liking the first stone. I also don't like the inclusion in the F. The third stone is very similar to the first one but is a VVS2 so I'd bet it costs a little more than the first G. Save a few bucks and go with the VS1.

Love the 1.74 G VVS2! It is larger than the others and certainly the clarity is great. I didn't like the VS2 inclusion right under the table of the F stone at all. The only reason I'd buy the G VS1 is if it is a lot less expensive. But I say go for the 1.74 and max out the size since it is H&A cut and has the best clarity, too!

 

[rlg0928]

Ok makes sense - thanks the input! I will keep everyone posted with what I decide to go with. It's definitely between the first and third stone.

What about the one attached below? It's a slight premium to the others but I think it may be worth it.
