The first 2 diamonds look good, nothing is showing for the BN link. Make sure the two above are eyeclean to your standards in order to narrow down which one. Also if you want a branded h&a then the WF diamond is the one to go for.

It appears you learned your C''s well, especially the one about cut. The WF and JA diamonds both look very good. Ditto Lorelei on the eyeclean.

Thanks for the quick response!! Sorry about the BN link. Hope this one works.

Thanks, this one has good proportions - I would check carefully as it appears the clarity has grade making cloud/s which can sometimes affect brilliance. Also we have no way of knowing if this diamond is h&a as BN do not supply images.

I''m so confused on what diamond to get. I originally went to a few B&M in my area and looked at a few stones but never knew what I was "really" looking at. So I decided to do my research online and went to BN, JA, and WF and found that the prices were so much cheaper then the B&M. So far the few stones above are thousand less then the B&M. I''m not a fan of buying blind folded but... with the help of everyone I hope to find the perfect diamond.

Thanks again and sorry for any confusion but my head is about to explode.

Don''t worry, we have helped countless people through this!

What do you think about this one? Because the clarity is SI2 doesn''t that mean its not going to be very eyeclean?

Numbers and IS look good.

As far as eye-clean goes, it depends on your definition. Are you not wanting to see the inclusions from the top and sides, or just the top? (because the setting covers the side views) What viewing distance?

There are eye-clean SI-2 diamonds out there, just as you move down in clarity they become fewer. All you can do is contact the vendor, give them your definition of eye-clean and ask them to look at the diamond with that in mind.

Ditto Jet. Also I like to have hearts images for any so called h&a diamond in order to judge overall cut precision, but to the best of my knowledge James Allen don't supply these. However it appears to be a very well cut diamond, check with JA that it is eyeclean to your standards.
