I like the E-F / SI1 idea myself (some bias - G ought to be OK, D might not be much of a premium - at least).

The 'Strong' fluorescence of the first diamond would be OK with me. Does this detail matter to you ?

All three stones sem to be on the subtle side of SI1 - no prominent 'clarity characteristics'. The darkly dusted whisps in the first seem worst of the lot.

If these were the only three possibilities, I'd probably take #2 - it has the nicest shape, I find. [it is 'not available' - yours already ?]

Then, I would wish to have some idea of how bright these things are. An ASET image would help. I cannot guess much from the videos.


I would have to look beyond JA for nicer than #2 ...

The 1.2 seems much brighter than the 1.22 (ASETs would verify).

I cannot advise whethervthe 1.2 must be a pendant stone: the obvious narrowing of the girdle in the back goes to 'Medium' width, which should be fine on its own. I am not a diamond setter though !

I'd say - reserve this one & ask for ASET.

The 3rd F has shoulders so I would skip that one.

Others worth considering

the larger size in your budget
https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/pear-shaped/1.05-carat-e-color-si1-clarity-sku-2460759 look at measurements and not carat weight
(shallow with bigger table, but looks to have decent faceting pattern)

I like 1.20 E. ;)2
I also liked #2 of the above 3 options given, but, apparently, someone else grabbed it, first. :(2
