Diamond Help!! Which one would you choose?

[diamond_seeker]

Yes, another one of these threads. But I do really appreciate any input!! My main concerns are light return and that the diamond is 100% eye clean. Any of these stand out over the other? Thanks to everyone in advance for any knowledge you share. Happy Holidays!!

I would contact the vendor and ask. I think they are all great choices

Definitely contact the vendor and make sure it is 100% eye clean... especially when looking at SI1 clarity as I'm sure you know.


I haven't run it through the HCA calculator yet, but I'm assuming they all score between 1-2?


That's all I really have (I'm a noob)

The stones you are looking at are all AGS IDeal- meaning they all should score under 2.0 on HCA. Ideal stones score anywhere from 0-2. Anywhere in that range is Excellent. a .5 vs. 1.2 vs. 1.9 are all excellent- the tool is just used to reject poor preforming stones. So there really isn't a need to run the scores but I did just for kicks-

stone #1
Light Return Excellent
Fire Excellent
Scintillation Excellent
Spread
or diameter for weight Very Good
Total Visual Performance 1.4 - Excellent
within TIC range


stone #2
Factor Grade
Light Return Excellent
Fire Excellent
Scintillation Excellent
Spread
or diameter for weight Very Good
Total Visual Performance 1.4 - Excellent
within TIC range


stone #3
Light Return Excellent
Fire Excellent
Scintillation Excellent
Spread
or diameter for weight Very Good
Total Visual Performance 1.0 - Excellent
within TIC range

so light return and cut are all pretty much equal- it's ideal/excellent.

The color- clarity and size is up to you/ Don't spend more than you are comfortable with.

If they are all eyeclean, I probably would go for one of the H stones. In an ideal cut- unless you are very color sensitive- you really won't see a difference between the G and H colors. Going to the H color gets you a bigger stone.

Have you or your GF looked at stones in person? Are you color sensitive? That is really the only determining factor here- better color and smaller carat? or bigger carat and lower color? If you look at excellent cut stones in person of comparable size in G- H- I range, you should get a feel for how sensitive to color you/your gf are.

I think my vote is for #2 or #3. All are excellent choices though, can't go wrong!
