Help on Diamond choices

[wacamaster]

I''m hoping to keep the diamond under 25k. Looking for 3 ct. princess SI1 with a great cut and preferably f color. Here''s 4 options I was given that come close to my criteria.

Princess 3.04 I SI1 GIA TK-VTK N VG VG N 74.2% 69% 7.98x7.65x5.68 $20,019ps
Ratio 1.04:1

Princess 3.04 I SI1 GIA M-TK N VG VG N 74.3% 68% 7.94x7.74x5.75 $20,019ps
Ratio 1.03:1

Princess 3.01 H SI1 GIA TK-VTK N VG VG N 75.0% 70% 7.83x7.77x5.83 $24,008ps
Ratio 1.01:1

Princess 2.76 F SI1 GIA TN-TK N VG VG N 73.3% 63% 8.04x7.78x5.70 $26,495
Ratio 1.03:1

I really want this to be an excellent looking stone with all kinds of dazzle. Any opinions on whether it''s worth spending the extra money on the f color. Also.. I don''t really know how to figure if they are good cuts or bad. I think it says they are very good, but are some better then the others?

Welcome to PS! You can''t judge fancy cuts by the numbers alone. We would need to see other info, such as IS image, ASET image or a pic of the stone. Do you have any of these? Maybe a link to the stones?

If you want to make life easier when searching for a princess, look for AGS 000 princess stones. Whiteflash have a range of ACA Princess stones and Good old gold stock AGS 000 Princess cuts. They are ideal cut stones and will be very sparkly.

Do a quick search on them and see what you can learn.

Good luck!!
