Are they all eye-clean?

They all look nice - I'd take the G. Higher color, cheaper, and looks the same size as the others.

 

[boston2013]

Yes all eye clean - the gemologist recommends 249366 so I am leaning that way. Any other thoughts from anyone?

 

[boston2013]

Have another hour to make this decision - what does everyone think given attached 40x photos of the diamonds?

Number 3...most crisp looking and good angles.

 

[Rockdiamond]

Just curious....why the rush?
There are times a ring is needed by a certain date, etc...
But in general, this is not the type of decision many people like to rush....

 

[boston2013]

Agreed - don't want to rush this decision.

James Allen will release holds on them and I don't want to lose one I ultimately want! Interested in buying soon and I do like these, just having a tough time deciding.

#3 also happens to be the lowest of the 3 in light performance. The gemologist top pick was #1.

 

[JulieN]

The first one that they recommended. #3 has a huge black inclusion. It might be eye-clean at a casual glance but probably not once you know where it is.

 

[boston2013]

Thanks JulieN - appreciate the help. This can be tough to do on your own as it's such a major decision!

 

[boston2013]

Think 443 is a fair price at just under $6k?

 

[boston2013]

Sorry I meant 269344, not the 443 stone.
