That''s pretty easy for me. The GOG stone. It''s the biggest diameter, the cheapest, and a branded stone to boot.

HI:

Hmmmm, is the F eye clean? I see Ellen's point, but I am on the "color" bandwagon lately......if you can manage the F WF stone I just might get that one (#4)................

cheers--Sharon

Ditto! This one gets my vote!!!

I''m with canuk-gal.

Is that F colour stone eye clean?

I would certainly choose that 4th stone out of all of them, if it was eye clean.

I am leaning toward #1 but since most of you have picked #4, I have to ask why you would poick #4 over #1? Is it based purely on color? I guess I am on the clarity bandwagon but can get off it if it makes sense

 

[lisa1.01fvs1]

#4 definitely. My stone has similar (very similar specs.) and it shines to the moon!

I guess I''m a color compulsive.

Do you know 1 says SOLD now? Did you buy it?

 

[tallsc]

Hi tallsc!

VS2 is lovely - but if #4 is eye clean, then to the eye there is no difference between the stones in terms of clarity.

Therefore, I would much rather have a very white F colour stone, than an I colour stone as I can see the difference in colour (and I can''t see the difference in clarity).

If you aren''t colour sensitive, it doesn''t matter a bit... but if both stones are eye clean I will choose the whitest every time.

[lisa1.01fvs1]

Well, this one too is similar to my specs but I like the F - I can really tell the diff. in color/very sensitive. However, VS2 is great! is the F/SI2 eye claen?

I saw the imagery and 2 of the hearts look included. I guess you could ask them at the store if it is in stock?

 

[tallsc]

which one had inclusions, the SI2 or VS?

 

[lisa1.01fvs1]

Oh sorry - #4 to my last post but the GOG has "something" in the Hearts photos as well as the magnifications.

Maybe the SA could give you a quickie yeah or nay on the eye clean thing.

Now, I don''t know.

The one you reserved is looking better and better.............cleaner face up that is. I am still a stickler for color, though. But at the cost of visible inclusions probably not.

#3 all the way!
WheW--fanning myself as I look at it!
whoops! just saw that you already bought one.
