Help me pick my first stone

[puckerman]

Hello everyone,

I'm planning on picking up one of these soon. I'm leaning towards the middle one. Could I get some opinions on these three or avoid them and pick something else?

Thanks,

I like the middle one, but to save a few dollars I also really like the right one.

Also best performance out of the 3?

I'd exclude the left one as the inclusion under the table would have me question just how eye clean it really is. Even the right one has a slight inclusion under the table as well. In all likelihood under normal viewing conditions you won't notice it though. If price is a concern then I'd lean towards the right one. If the nearly $2k difference isn't that big of a deal and you want the best stone then go for the middle. Performance wise though they should for all intents and purposes be equal.

Middle or right, I'd feel comfortable with either one. I would not choose the left.

I wouldn't recommend J. You're going to see yellow with the naked eye esp at 2 ctw. Go for G or H.

Having JUST seen some Js in the 3ct size yesterday for the first time in person...I do agree with this one. Make sure you've seen some J's in person before going with that color. It'll depend on the setting you're going with, of course.

Thank you all!!

The setting is a Tacori 2620.

I will go and check these out in person but thank you all for the feedback. Please keep them coming and let me know if you have any other recommendations.

I've removed the left diamond and added a G in for comparison.

So far this is my list to check out.

That setting will help hide the color. But as stated you might want to look at the J in that setting to see if it's acceptable. Otherwise stick with a G.
