Hi Everyone,

I have been lurking around this fantastic site for a while now, and this is my first post. I was hoping to get some advice on buying a diamond for an e-ring that I want to give to my girlfriend. I have found 3 options, but I am still unsure which option, if any, I should pursue.

Option #1:
http://www.whiteflash.com/diamonds/Diamond_Details.aspx?idno=584858
HCA: 0.9
-Confirmed "eyeclean"

Option #2:
http://www.whiteflash.com/diamonds/Diamond_Details.aspx?idno=560213
HCA: 1.4

Option #3:
http://www.whiteflash.com/hearts_arrows/A-Cut-Above-H-A-cut-diamond-636604.htm
HCA: 1.1
-Confirmed "eyeclean"

I was leaning towards option #1 because it fits within my budget($15,000 total). My concern with option #1 was that G would not be white enough. Options 2 and 3 also look good, but would push me a above what I wanted to spend.

I am hoping for someone to give me some opinions on what you think of the stones.

Thanks!!

With an ACA, G color is going to be great. The price is great on #1, and it''s confirmed eyeclean, so that would be my pick. They all look beautiful! I don''t think you can go wrong.
Good luck!
 
I agree with Coati :) a AGS G is plenty white that it will still look icy :)

and as long as the diamond is eyeclean that is all that matters :)
 
Number 1, number 1!!! It''s beautiful and a whopping 4k less than the others!!!

Honestly, G is very very white. Most would even say it''s icey white. If the stone is eye clean as well, then why pay thousands of dollars extra for a difference you can''t see?

The good news is that all of these stones are gorgeous. However, the 4k difference is huge and I don''t think you''d see much of a difference between any of them in person. I''d put the 4k into a killer setting.
 
Thank you all for your input and advice!! I am now more confident to go with option #1
