Help me decide between a few diamonds

[Hanakuso]

Not sure which one to go with. I'm basically looking for a overall balanced diamond and i'm not sure if i'm overlooking any details. Basically looking for the most diamond for the money, while being a quality one.

I should say #3 is what I want, but the depth and table seem way off correct?

If you're willing to spend 1200, the price of #4, I would definitely be dropping color and clarity to get something in the .4 range. You are not getting "the most diamond for your money" with this E IF combo.

I would feel more comfortable spending around $1000, but #4 is probably the highest i'd go.

Would I be able to see an actual reduction in quality if I went a level down from the E IF combo? That's why I thought #3 the 0.35 diamond is a good pick. It seems to be decently priced while being slightly bigger then the 0.33

You're not going to see any difference. Face up, an I of this size will look quite colorless.

Thanks again! I will lower the grading on the color/clarity and try to find something bigger. It's just seems like within the past 20 mins of doing that, my option of #3 0.35 seems to still be a decent but. The other 0.35 with lesser grading seems to be only $100-150 cheaper. Is my #3 really that good of a buy?

I'll try to go up to 0.4 carat and find something I like, but does 0.05 carat really make that much of a difference in size?
