Hi all,

I've been searching for a stone for a month now and came across this forum which I found to be very helpful and informative. I think I've narrowed it down to the four stones below. Which one would you choose? Just wanted to hear everyone's opinions. Thanks!

#1.) 1.3 F VS1 H&A

#2.) 1.38 G VVS1 H&A

#3.) 1.11 F VVS2 Solasfera
http://goodoldgold.com/diamond/6692/

#4.) 1.31 F VS1 ACA H&A

well...have you seen any of the videos of solasfera vs. H&A? it is a different look. if you prefer the solasfera, I would get that one :) All of the others look great, I would probably pick one of the F VS1s-maybe one vendor has a setting you like better?
 
Although I love the princess solaferas, I'm not big on their rounds so that would not be *my* choice.

My choice would be number 1 or number 4.

If I had to narrow it down further I think I would pick number 4.
 
I am not a big fan of the solafera stones. So I personally would rule out #3.

As for 1, 2, or 4,- first I would determine if there is a vendor who's setting= upgrade= trade-in policy that your prefer.
As all three stones are ideal cut- H&A or ACA...cut is essentially the same....

Since the carat size difference is really minimal- I would go for the higher color as I am more color sensitive...

So one of the F VS1 stones would be my pick. I would then narrow it down to the whiteflash stone as I love a ton of their settings...
 
I'm leaning towards stone #4 as well. But the solasfera appears to be really bright and sparkly on those GOG videos and has really caught my eye. I don't mind going down in size if I can get a ring with better light performance. How does ACA cut compare to solasfera in terms of light performance?
 
from what I understand, it is a different look. the solafera has more facest than traditional RB stones, so the looks is "more sparkles" than a traditional RB.
