First post, need help picking a stone.

[GoldieGirl]

Hi all! This is my first lab diamond purchase and don’t have much experience viewing diamond videos. Would some of you with more experience please kindly view these stones and tell me which one looks better? They are roughly the same size 2.4 ct, F/G, Ideal, VS2 and similar price so that doesn’t factor at all. Thanks so much in advance.

Can you post the certificates? We need to see the stats. You can take a look at the recommended proportions here: https://www.pricescope.com/educatio...cope community,or Excellent and GIA Excellent.

The second one is the most promising.

Thanks, I will try to figure out how to upload.

Thanks so much for taking a look! Would you mind telling a newbie like me what you like better or why you think #2 performs better than #1 or #3? When I look at the video magnified and then I shrink it down to closer to actual size it completely changes my opinion and that’s why I can’t seem to make a decision. Thanks

This is #2

This is #2

This is #3

 

[GoldieGirl]

This is #3

This is #1, but I think I have eliminated it unless you all see something I don’t.

#1 is very poorly cut, and #3 is not that well cut either. #2 has striations and one area where I'd want to check for leakage but it's the best of the bunch. I think you can do better than any of these.

These are areas of an unevenly cut pavilion or leakage in #1.

Kim, I appreciate you so much! Since I am not tech savy and want to make sure I posted the correct link with the correct stone will you please, please take one more glance for me and confirm this stone below is the one that you thought was the best of the bunch:

2.55 ct G/ vs2

For the budget, these are really the three we’re working with. Thanks so much again!

If you don’t mind, post your budget and see if Kim can find something she’d unreservedly recommend. I would trust her advice.

This is already part of an exchange that is in process so I’m already committed, but glad I found this forum and will definitely consult Kim and you guys for next time when I have more options open up front

Yes, that's the one.

 

[GoldieGirl]

Yes, that's the one.

Thanks

I am honestly not a fan of any of these. Although 2nd is much better than either 1st or 3rd in my opinion

Sorry, I don’t mean to be obtuse, but just wanted to double check with you. Could you return this and then start over with a different vendor? In other words, this is your last option for an exchange with this vendor, but can you return instead of exchanging, and start again with a different vendor (with a more generous return policy)?
