You listed the price on the first one but not the other two. Do you have any images of these stones?

Number 1.

Fzara2000 · Dec 29, 2015

Sorry about that. Been doing lots of research today and it slipped my mind.
#2 Is a higher premium than the other ones because of the color, and so i'm really wondering if its worth the premium.
Thanks!

Nope. Go with number 1. It's a really nice choice.

It does look like a good find! Should be a winner. Seems like nice value too. Those are pretty good cut specs....

Fzara2000 · Dec 30, 2015

Spon you mean #1 right?

telephone89 · Dec 30, 2015

#1 for sure

spon88 · Dec 30, 2015

#1 would be my choice!

diamondseeker2006 · Dec 30, 2015

If size is of importance, the first one is the obvious choice. Not worth sacrificing that much size to go up to G color.

I'm for #1. Looks lovely

Everyone in this post - I wanted to sincerely thank all of you for your help!!! Words cannot express how perfect everything came out.
I went with the 1.70 ct. and had it set into a band from a friend's jeweler a couple weeks ago. I ended up proposing on January 24th, the day after the huge blizzard in New York. She gets compliments when she walks into any room - its stunning to look at.

Pictures are from Central Park on top of a small bridge overlooking New York City at sunset!
Enjoy!
