Help me decide

Sheesh, I feel like I''m bothering you guys a lot. I''m wanting to pull the trigger tomorrow on a diamond, so that''s why I''ve been posting a bit. I thought I had it narrowed down to two, until I realized that WF also provides quite a bit of reports along with their diamonds (although not quite as much as GOG). I''ll just have it looked at with a BrillianScope upon receipt if ordered from WF.

I''m assuming both GOG and WF are comparably reputable as far as setting a diamond goes (into setting already purchased elsewhere). If not, feel free to chime in. The diamonds are below. If you would rather I post specs directly or narrow it down from these 5 first, just yell at me. Thanks!

GOG Diamond #1

WF Diamond #1

WF Diamond #2

WF Diamond #3

WF Diamond #4

Both vendors are top notch so no concerns there. The first rock we have discussed, still a very fine diamond! They all look great, I tend to like #4 the best - do you have a preference?

They will all be beautiful. The sizes are extremely close, and the prices are all close as well. Flip a coin!

Ditto Lorelei - both vendors great; all 5 stones should be top performers and gorgeous.
I like the GOG stone, and WF''s 1, 3, and 4. But it''s really splitting hairs at this level of quality. What did you decide about a setting?

Ditto. (Ellen, do you have a pic of your five-sided coin?

Thanks for the input. Actually, it''s funny. I realized that stone #1 and #3 are the same stone. I linked it twice. So, you all passed my test.

I really do like all of them. I''ll start fashioning my five sided coin now.

#2 is a bit off though, isn''t it? In the heart picture, the hearts at 1 o''clock and 7 o''clock look just a bit off at their apex. Will this have any effect?

SaraP - I have gone with a Kirk Kara setting. The work order should be placed with them today via the jeweler. This is the one I decided on. Click the link to see the picture. I couldn''t get the pic to upload.
