Deciding on a rock

[Chris05]

Hi guys lookking for some help deciding between these diamonds.

This is the setting I've chosen. https://www.jamesallen.com/mobile/e...d-inspired-diamond-engagement-ring-item-41558

Chose 14k for more durability as my partner is pretty active and the setting so it doesn't catch on clothing and horse rugs easily.

Diamond 1: M VVS1 .80ct 61.8 depth 56 table 34.5 crown 40.8 pavilion HCA 1.3 unable to get Idealscope picture.

Any extra info or recommendations this is the first time I've bought a diamond and have been doing some reserch now at a point where I'm ready to buy as soon as I work out her ring size and which diamond!

I like them all.

So do I but there's a few hundred dollar difference just wanting to get other people that are more experienced than me to help .
Thanks

I would choose the K. It is the whitest yet still cheaper than the L.
You don't get much value by selecting a lower colored stone beyond K in general, which appears to the case here.

I agree, I would go with the K. It won't be as tinted, K is still pretty close to J

I've looked at sooo many diamonds now I've found this other K VVS2 that's a tiny bit smaller .76ct I can't decide if it's slightly hazy or cloudy or if I have just been staring at them for too long! Another opinion than mine would be great HCA on this one is 1.7

I got one of her rings last night so off to the shop today to size it and put it back before she notices!

Like this one too. There is nothing that should contribute to any haziness. The only inclusion is feather and fluo is only faint.

Really no reason that last stone would be hazy. What you're seeing may just be the video clarity and not the stone itself. The size difference is so small... the K VVS stone is the more classic angles but i think either is going to be beautiful. You could always ask if JA can pull them and get an Idealscope? Or get their opinion on the nicer stone of the two.

 

[farrahlyn]

Oh, i have to ask too.... are you certain that the ring you grabbed is one she wears on her left ring finger?

 

[Chris05]

Unfortunatly JA can't do Idealscope on this particular one, or any of the ones I've asked for !! It's an older ring but she did put it on her left ring finger when she tried it on so it should be pretty well fitting. She's left handed so I did go a tiny bit bigger just to be sure
