I just got these three idea scopes. Can I get some comments on them please?
This is a result of the discussion from this post https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/engagment-diamond.177105/.

I was wondering if I could get some feedback on these ideal scopes.

1446232 (0.57crt F VS2) is your best selection based on its clarity and bright light performance. I has an icy white "F" color and will appear completely eye clean. This diamond is our gemologists favorite and I strongly recommend it for your diamond purchase.

price 2,080

Diamond 1498714 (0.60crt F SI1) is the gemologist's second favorite, which is also eye clean, icy white in color, and has nice light performance.

price $1,890

Diamond 1503150 (0.66crt G SI1) has good light performance, a true "G" color, and will likely face eye clean. The gemologist did note that a sensitive eye may be able to pick up on the crystal when examining the diamond closely.

I appreciate any feedback on these three stones. I was leaning toward the .6ct diamond. I don't have the prices right now but they are all about $2,000 +/- $200 (ie $1,800-$2,200). I will update as soon as I have the prices.

Interesting. I would probably go for the second one. I like the first, but I think the second one will look brighter at the edges and make the diamond look slightly larger, and at this size that means a lot.

Thanks you very much for your help!!! I think I would have ended up with a worse diamond from the store for more money. I was thinking the second one was a little better for the price as well. You can't see anything from the top in the loop. Should I insure the diamond right after i buy it and later add the ring to the insurance?

The first one is my favorite but it would be nice to eek out a little more size.
Number 2 is not bad either though.

Sweet now I just need to figure out how to buy it since my phone died. I was thinking that the little larger size is nice especially since it is cheaper. It is the stone that we liked at first anyways.

Just an update. I purchased the .6 ct diamond and it came in. It looked great but I am having it appraised just to double check. Under the scope it looked like it may be a VS2 and might appraise higher than the price I paid.
