The F and the I both look good, not liking the H so much--it is a nice princess, but the other two look better.

It is just a matter of your preference of color vs. size.

Thanks - I agree with you. On that note here are some pictures comparing the 2.30 F and the 3.03 I...

I'm liking the I just a little better in the ASET, but you would need to be OK with the slightly warmer color. Both of these are outstanding princess diamonds. The F seems to show a little more brighness in the photos and video, while the I has better contrast zones and patterning.

(Glad to see Barbara doing videos and they are getting much better at photos with the handheld ASET)
