Final 2ct round contenders - Please help!

[Billy Mays]

I summarized the 3 stones I like best into this attached picture. I looked at each with a lightscope and they all did well, with Diamond C marginally better. Diamond B is the clearest and Diamond C has a knot which worries me. Diamond A is sold by someone more established than the other vendor but I still would trust all 3.

I have a short window and I am hoping you guys can help me (I know it's not a clear cut science, but your opinions and ideas are very much appreciated).





If you click on this link you will see the 3 choices in a bigger format: http://bit.ly/PV1KsA

It's below as well but in a smaller, harder to read format :p

Do you have a picture of the diamonds? Have you seen it? Are they clean to you?

 

[Billy Mays]

Hi Chrono. Yes I have seen these in person. Unfortunately I don't have an image; all I have is the diagrams which I include in the file of my initial post. The very bottom row has my comments after I saw them a few times in person.

All are eye clean and shined well.

Diamond A has some small inclusions on the sides.
Diamond B is VERY clean.
Diamond C is incredibly clean but has a small knot on the edge (it's small and only visible with a loop).

Perhaps the link is easier to read: bit.ly/PV1KsA

All 3 look very good on paper and only you have seen them. At this point, it is totally your choice. I do not know if the knot will present any durability risks though.

I really want to go with diamond C but I am a nervous nelly and worried about the knot...what if the diamond gets damaged in the future, etc.

And if I am forced to choose between an F SI 1 vs a very clear G VS 2 that costs more, I don't know what to do. Will clarity or color appreciate more? Is the price for that clarity too much? etc. Both are eye clean and colors are hard to discern in those shades.

if you have compared all 3 in person and under different lighting but can't see a clear winner, than I'd suggest you go for C which has larger diameter.
