Help me select a diamond! Finally ready to order.

All solid choices! You’ll just have to prioritize if the G color over the I colors is worth the extra expense. This boils down to your own preferences.
 
I’m just not sure how much of a difference in looks will it appear in person
 
#3 if you don't mind the I color.
 
Can you let me know why you think 3?

You cold probably tell if they were held next to each other. If this is for someone else, perhaps an engagement ring, and the G is in the budget, I’d go with that one. If you’re setting it in yellow gold or rose gold or otherwise know the intended won’t mind the color, then go with one of the I’s
 
Yup I plan on proposing in a month so I have to put the order in this week. Just not sure how much of a difference the g and I color will look. I definitely want her to have that diamond shining especially when she gets it!
 
Is there an h in budget?
 
Yes I think h is the highest I will go.
 
I mean g is the highest I”ll go. H is below g?
 
This also looks nice. Sort of a compromise between the G and the I in both color and price. If setting it in white gold/platinum, I personally wouldn't go below H. You'll see a lot of different opinions concerning what color is appropriate for white metals on this site, but after looking at a few stones in person at a local jeweler before I purchased online, I could definitely see a bit of color in the "I' stones. If this is a surprise and you don't know if the recipient is color sensitive, then it's probably best to stick with H or above.

But if it's going in yellow gold, forget the I's, go with a J! :D

I like the price of this one posted by @TreeScientist ,

But, I would likely choose this one from @Snowdrop13 for the better incursions distribution. The inclusions are off the table and clear. Mind cleanness for me.

More expensive, but I like the size and if you want a G (though I think H is great).

incursions=inclusion :oops2:
 
If you are having a tough time and you think it would help, you can ask for a picture of whichever stones you like all together (like 3 different stones).
H will be quite white.
 
I sent an email early this morning to WF with my question about the Premium Select upthread. They have confirmed that the Premium Select diamonds are part of their in-house inventory. So, they qualify for the 100% Lifetime Upgrade Policy. Thanks WF!
