Do you see a clear winner here?

I started a new search so decided to start a new thread so not to make it confusing. I need help deciding which one of these stones I should consider mine. My order of importance are: Cut & Carat =tie (the lady wants larger stone, I prefer the cut) Color, Clarity.

Anyone with knowledge in this area, please let me know your suggestion.

these are all from JA, right? you should ask the staff there to narrow it down.

2 are from JA while the other two from somewhere else. JA helped me narrow my search quite a bit...I'm making progress. I found 2 that I like but they're smaller (1.11) so I want to narrow these larger ones down so I can make a final decision.

#2 is largest and has measurements I prefer. The key is whether it is eyeclean and passes the idealscope check. I'd be interested in seeing #4. I am not used to seeing a crown angle that high, but it could be really nice and I prefer the clarity.

#2 would be my first choice.

Thank you both for your input! #2 is what I was hoping to hear! On paper I like that one a lot.

I plan on getting idealscopes performed and inspected to make sure they're eyeclean. This is all fairly new to me so if you don't mind I'll come back to post whatever I find on these stones.

I also agree with you about #4 DiamondSeeker, I'd also prefer the clarity.

Thanks again for your suggestions.

What do we think about #1? I was just informed that I may not be able to get pictures and Idealscopes on #3 and 4, so I may not pursue these two.
