Diamond Decision

[Diamond_Virgin]

Well I''ve narrowed my search down to three diamonds at Whiteflash:

AGS-6633803
http://www.whiteflash.com/round_ideal_cut/Round-Ideal-Cut-cut-diamond-1948527.htm#
0.795 cts
Color: J
Clarity: SI1
AGS-6633802
http://whiteflash.com/round_ideal_cut/Round-Ideal-Cut-cut-diamond-1948526.htm#
0.768 cts
Color: J
Clarity: VS2

AGS-6633708
https://www.whiteflash.com/hearts_arrows/A-Cut-Above-H-A-cut-diamond-1948461.htm#
0.728 cts
Color: J
Clarity: VS2

The first two are Ideal Cuts, and above 0.75 cts, which is what I was going for. The third is a H&A cut, but is slightly below the .75 cts mark. All three diamonds have an IdealScope image up, and I was hoping someone would take a look and tell me what you think. Having never looked at a diamond under the IdealScope before, here are my impressions: The H&A cut diamond looks great, just supurb. The .768 cts diamond looks slightly less great, but seems to let through less light. And finally, the .795 cts diamond looks slightly less well cut, but seems to let through more light than the smaller Ideal Cut.

Opinions?

So many thanks,
Eban

Okay, DV, what you are seeing is the difference in cutting styles. Both of the expert selection seem to be ACAs that just missed the mark. I am including a link that will help you to understand what you are seeing on the IS. All things being equal, I would go for the biggest one that is eyeclean. Just my .02. Here is the link. https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/a-cut-above-new-line-vs-classic-line-a-review-of-the-2-cutting-styles.24185/ I hope this helps.

Is diamond #1 eyeclean? if it is, done deal. take the number one. If it''s not, I''d go for # 2. #3 is a beauty of course. However, bigger diamond for less money, woohoo, I''m so there.

Here''s a quote from Lesley from Whiteflash:

"I can tell you right off the bat that they face up white because they are so well cut. Both are also eye clean - you will see that when the pics are loaded."

So it sounds like I should go for the big one, I''m sure my gf will appriciate it
