Hey everyone,
I''m kind of ashamed that I''m on a diamond forum but I don''t know enough to pick a stone. Well my boyfriend is looking to buy a stone from whiteflash (early stages right now) and the max budget for the stone is $8400. So here''s the problem, my psychological size preference is for a RB that is 7 mm in diameter (minimum) other then that, I don''t mind. My boyfriend would like the biggest stone he can get for his money.
So Cutie found me this stone, which I love, but my boyfriend prefers the second one:

I''m unsure about this stone because of the color (it''s an I), on the cut advisor it''s 2.2. So good, but not excellent. BUT most of all, on the whiteflash pic, I can see the inclusions and this black, graining stuff on the sides. I don''t know how those pictures are taken and if I''m going to be able to see them in real life.
And then, I figure, if I want to save money, and get a stone in the 1.2 range, I''d could just get this one:

I like the color (H), and the flourescence, and the ideal scope image, but the picture (once again) looks really messy to me, because of the black stuff on it. I''m giving myself a headach with this. I''m hoping the reason I see the imperfections on the diamond is because the picture is magnified. Well, if anyone has any opinons, I would love to hear them.
Thanks so much!
