Choosing Between Three Stones - Need Opinion

[Coop54]

I'm choosing between three stones linked below and I would love to get opinions on which you would choose and why. I want to get a very nice stone at a good value that is eye clean. I am probably more picky about color than the average person. That said, I realize this is a subjective choice and you get what you pay for...I'm just curious to see how others think this through since I'm a novice diamond buyer.

I have attached the idealscope image of the first diamond. I'll add the others if I can get them.

Thanks in advance for your help!!

This idealscope is the 1.51 D VS1

The D VS1's light performance is great. Make sure it not milky or oily from med fluo. Ask JA's gemlogist.

I know this is a completely different style and shape. But it is 1.4c D VS1. It is a stunning diamond within your budget.

Just another option.

Agree with above: talk to JA’s gemologist about fluorescence; D color doesn’t need fluorescence to whiten the stone. As long as there is no negative impact on the D, it’s the top contender. Next, is the G; faint Fluorescence will not have negative impact on a near-colorless diamond, typically. The E is out for me*; it’s not eye clean to my* eyes.
The 1.40DVS1 Cushion is gorgeous, and a great option for something different. It’s AGS certed, and will be beautifully cut, without question.
Hope this was helpful.
