@i7candela Looks fabulous; I think it’s a great choice with great stats! :love:

It’s hard to go wrong with any WF ACA; the diamond in my avatar is an ACA (K-VS2), which I upgraded to last fall.

I dont believe the James Allen TH line has the same ‘value/scrutiny’, and is more just a brand label they put on random cutters’ diamonds that meet unpublished criteria ... whereas WF has more investment/ownership/control & oversight with prescribed cutting standards for those who cut their ACAs and provides far more transparency into their brand, quality, specs, etc. With that, though, comes a higher price point that - IMO - is worth the extra cost to guarantee an outstanding performing diamond. Also, WF has a far superior upgrade program to JA.

I've found that Whiteflash, Brian Gavin, and Crafted by Infinity diamonds offer superior light performance compared to James Allen "True Hearts". I spent more hours than I care to remember going through JA "True Hearts" diamonds and found that what they call hearts and arrows could be close but isn't really super ideal. I'd spend the extra money and go with one from a branded company. I'm currently trying to decide on a diamond from www.hpdiamonds.com, which offers Crafted by Infinity. Good luck.
 
Concur with the sentiment that one cannot go wrong with WF's ACA - if I were in the market for a MRB, that's where I would go, and would gladly do it online.

Your WF pick is great! The color is a smart choice, the clarity will be eye clean, and the diamond images all look fantastic!

Just a thought - there is an ACA on preloved right now:

Not saying the preloved one isn’t an amazing value- because at that price it seriously is!- but I don’t love the clarity as much as his current choice. I know it comes down to personal preference and in an SI1 it shouldn’t be a big deal, however there is a lot going on right in the middle of the table.
 
Thanks everyone i appreciate everyones feed back as I’m not big on jewelry.

@the_mother_thing your ring is beautiful if it looks anything like that in person I will love my purchase.

Your choice is outstanding and you will not be disappointed with the diamond or their service! I have purchased four ACA diamonds and have been very happy with their performance.
