Diamond Searching - Opinions?

[JABacchetta]

Hello all. I''ve found quite a few helpful answers on these forums while searching Google. Figured it was time to create an account here. I''m looking to purchase a diamond online soon. Here are the specs I''m looking for:

Shape: Round
Cut: Ideal (triple zero from AGS)
Carat: 0.70 - 0.75
Color: G
Clarity: VS2

Here are the diamonds that I''m looking at so far:

One
Two
Three

Which would you choose out of these? Are there any others you might recommend instead? Still don''t really understand if I should be looking for the "Hearts and Arrows" tag, but I assume that as long as I''m aiming for the triple zero score from AGS, I should be fine?

Hi J,

Looks like you picked 3 good ones, you're on the right track!

I'd go for the JA .74. It's a good bit bigger than the .70 diameter wise. You might ask for an IS, but I really do think it would be fine. The BN stone might be just fine, but since we can't get any other info, and there's nothing swaying me towards it, I see no need to consider.

ditto, prefer the 0.74 JA stone too.

Hey look at that, just noticed an additional discount after clicking the link from Pricescope. Not bad, lol.

Ditto wise Ellen!
