Finally narrowed down my diamond choices...thoughts??

[the-chef]

Here is what a few weeks of education and reading has brought me to. I have a few diamonds here that I will be considering to be placed into a halo setting.

I have a comfortable budget of about 9k...though small, I'm confident I can find a diamond that will be on fire and full of radiance.

I've been leaning towards a white flash ACA rated diamond because of the exceptional cut they have but am open to suggestions of like diamonds from other dealers for a better price, to get more size or a higher color

Thanks for any help from the community. I "think" Im on the right track finally.

lol... comparing multiple ACA stones is both exciting and agonizing.

You could call WF and tell them the 3 stones you are interested in and let them "talk" you through it. I like the look of the 1.01/H SI1
(also the cheapest).

You could ask if they are eye-clean from the side (that might help you narrow it down). Could also ask if you can see anything at
all in the SI1s at up close range( 6 inches or so). Their normal eye-clean range is 10 inches from the top in normal lighting with
20-20 I believe.

My vote is the 1.01 H/SI1 unless it has something visible in it (from the side or at up close range...then I might change my mind).
