Diamond Advice - Which One?

[Nick Forbes]

I'm so stuck between two nice stones. Any advice? Brilliance and sparkle are very important to me as well as having an eye clean diamond. Please let me know your thoughts!

Is square an issue for you? If so, then go with the BGD. I personally would probably go with the BGD. Does one place have a setting that you like?
If bigger is an issue, you might consider the JA. It is slightly bigger (not much though)...here is a picture of the size difference on a size 6 finger.
Did your GF specify she wanted a princess? Just checking...

Thanks for your quick reply! Yes, the wife to be has a preference for princess cut only. I haven't really looked at settings that much. She prefers a traditional pave setting, so shouldn't be too hard to get over that hump! She's a size 5, so this is a pretty accurate picture. I too lean towards BG just because of their name and recognition for being brilliance experts. Buying online is nerve wrecking!

I attached some that I found offered by different PS vendors. All three of the ones individually attached are Ex Ex polish/symmetry. All 3 fall into your dimensions, and around approx. budget range. All appear "eye clean", and inclusions are not noticeable. Some will even be hidden by prongs, once set.
Please take a look at these & consider your options.

**Edit**
I must add, of the 3 I selected, the 1.4ct is my top choice.
