Help me choose my diamond...please!

[mani5ha]

I have narrowed it down to these three. How do the SI1''s look and is it worth dropping to SI1 to get a larger stone?

Ask if they are eye-clean. If so, sure, why not? Slightly bigger and cheaper.

Hello

this is the response I got:

**Completely eyeclean from 8-10 inches with 20/20 vision from top view, also clean from 6" from top view, inclusions may be seen from the side. Inclusions are white in color and located in the pavilion side**

Is this a good or bad thing...?!

Depends on the setting style and your comfort level. If you notice an inclusion when looking from the side, will it bother you? If the diamond is eye-clean from the top, then casual viewers will never see the inclusions. Only the person wearing it will generally notice the ones visible from the side if the setting doesn''t hide or cover them.

The setting style is a halo so you wouldnt be able to see the pavillion...would you...!?
