So I've run into a couple of problems today. First, the setting that I want to get for my girlfriend is being discontinued so I need to order soon. With the help of some people here, I picked out a diamond and was planning on calling Blue Nile tomorrow to order it. I checked on the diamond tonight and someone purchased it since I last looked at it this afternoon! Now I have to find another diamond and quickkly so that they don't run out of the setting too. I could really use some quick hlep picking out a new stone.
For reference, this is the stone that I had chosen - http://www.bluenile.com/round-diamond-1-carat-or-less-ideal-cut-h-color-vvs2-clarity_LD02384842
This is what I've found so far tonignt.

This one might have been a perfect replacement but they paired the stone with the wrong AGS report. I'll try contacting them tomorrow but I'm not sure how quick they can fix this.
At this point, I just gave up on AGS certified stones and waded into the giant pool of GIA stones

HCA 1.6 and within the AGS 0 box on the HCA graph.

This might be one of my favorites of the GIA stones so far. The HCA is 0.9 and very close to the AGS 0 box. It's also a little bigger for its weight than the one I had originally picked.

HCA 0.9, AGS 0 area, and few inclusions. Looking back at all of these, I think i'm leaning toward this one.
Please let me know what you think. I'd really like to order this tomorrow so I don't also lose out on the setting. Thank you so much for all of your help!
