Help me choose between these four diamonds

[kapow]

These four diamonds fit perfectly into my ~15k budget. I'm not an expert, but I've learned more of the basics.

Please recommend what you think is best:

1.61 F SI1

1.59 F SI1

1.59 G SI1

1.53 D SI1

Thank you! Hopefully, I'll be making a purchase soon!

The link to the 1.61 didn''t work for me. Between the other three I would choose the G S11. i think it was the best clarity wise, and I think G is very white. You can''t go wrong with GOG though!

I'm not too fond of the depth on the first and fourth stones. I prefer them less deep. I wasn't able to look at the third stone's Sarin because I didn't want to download the .exe file at work. Do you have an image of it?

 

[kapow]

First link should be working now. I''ll try to download the exe and get the Sarin.

I could not see the Sarin or AGS report for three, and thought one and four were not to my taste. So I guess that leaves you with the 1.59 SI1. Just out of curiosity how did you come down to these four stones?
I am going to post a few others that are with in your price range and that I think might be worth considering.
1.62 F SI1 7.55-7.57x4.64 From Winfield''s $14,799
1.57 G SI1 7.57-7.58x4.59 From WhiteFlash $11,503
and this one could be depending on the inclusions 1.63 G SI1 7.57*7.62*4.66 from James Allen $12,379

Since I purchased the setting from GOG, I used their list of diamonds in stock to narrow it down to these 4. Plus I need something within the 1.40-1.60 range because the setting is being made currently without the actual diamond.

Also, how noticable is a G from a F?

Unless you have hawk eyes, you will certainly not see a difference face-up from the top. And from the pavilion, there will be only a barely noticeable difference. Most people cannot see a difference between one color grade. I definitely can't.

 

[kapow]

Thanks. Any other recommendations?

 

[kapow]

Looks like I''ve narrowed it down to these two:

1.59 F SI1

1.59 G SI1

Please help me decide! So I won''t be able to tell the difference at all between the F and G?

If you put two equal diamonds side by side, upside down on a white background you **might** be able to see the difference. But who is ever going to see your diamond in that manner? Face up I seriously doubt anyone could tell. Plus I like the clarity of the stone better. A diamond is a whole lot more than it's color, and I personally think the "g" is the better package. But then, I personally prefer "g" stones because they look more real to me. D's and E's always look steely white in an unpleaseing manner (but that's just me) I ended up with an I though, and the only ttime I notice any color is whenI hold a CZ up to it. Even then I like my diamonds color better. Just my two cents though.

Do we know if they are both totallt eye clean?
If they are I would probably save few bucks and go with the G.
just my .02

 

[kapow]

Both are eyeclean according to the team at GOG. I'm leaning towards the G.

here's a pic they sent me of the two. The G is on the left and the F is on the right.

 

[MissAva]

I vote for the G, the diameters are nearly inderntical and a G is still a very nice color.

 

[Mara]

G for me!

 

[Kaleigh]

Another vote here for the G, it''s gorgeous!!!!

 

[kapow]

Thanks for everyone''s input. I went with the G! Now it''s all about the waiting game.
