Help! Choosing between 3 1.2c+ stones

[confuzzl3don3]

Cheers guys, unfortunately I live in Sydney. I'll definitely look at the recommended dealers. Any more local vendors in my area apart from Holloway diamonds?

Realistically assuming a 10k budget, with use of those online vendors like WF, what's the largest diamond I can get with such ideal, clarity just eye clean to naked eye, F colour. A 1c?

10k AUD or 10k USD? Just want to make sure we get the intended budget sorted out first.

For around AUD$10k (not incl. GST), you could get this from Brian Gavin Diamonds:

1.015ct F SI1 Brian Gavin Blue
There is a knot pavilion side on this stone and hopefully it does not come too close to the surface. Even so, this area would be protected by the mounting.

Over Crafted By Infinity way (via Wink at High Performance Diamonds)

1.01ct E SI1 Crafted By Infinity (~USD7.8k wire price)
The inclusion plot (see the grading report at https://dealer.craftedbyinfinity.com/public/diamondFiles/9706/cert201712272027249706ags.PDF) on this one is better than the Brian Gavin Blue. Looks to be a very clean SI1.

Yeah meant 10k AUD. I guess it's a compromise between quality vs price vs size as always

At whiteflash for around USD7.5k,

1.005ct F SI1

If you asked me to choose between these three, I’d probably go with the 1.01 E SI1 from Crafted By Infinity.

Thanks for all the help . Will definitely look into it

Could I ask what you think of the 1.3c D, does it look eye clean to you? Just for future reference. Thanks

It is possibly eye clean from some viewing angles. Others it may not be so. With a video like that and a relatively low quality front on image, it makes it hard to tell over the net.

I wasn’t too keen on that D as the video shows a lot of internal reflections of the inclusions. That is why I say that it may not be eye clean at some viewing angles. Also depends on how good the eyesight of you, your SO and your friends/acquaintances are.

Ahh thanks. Man crystals are really hard to get my head around. So much maths and physics
