Help picking a 1.5c round brilliant diamond

The Enchanted Diamonds has a rather dark inclusion against the table that may be visible.

The JA-TH has a great IS. THe tiny table will make it firey. The setting inclusion is a cloud, so you will need to confirm that does not impact brilliance. The JA gemologist (not sales associate) can review if for you. Otherwise, this is a great selection! It's 7.44 mm.

Guessing at budget, but if this is in, you might have a look. WF has a better tradeup policy and this is superideal. Its also slightly larger face-up than the JA stone (look as size in mm not weight in carats!)

Hmm ok thanks Rockysalamander! Is the small black inclusion going to cause much of a problem? I guess if it is visible at 1x magnification it would.

Love the one you linked to but it's a bit out of budget.

This one is possible though: https://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-3903345.htm

Thoughts on this one vs the JA assuming the crystal on the Enchanted makes it not desirable?

Thanks!
 
Did you put the JA one on hold or did someone buy it?

Either way, I like the WF one you posted.
 
Hmm Matthews1127... seems like you would go down on color to improve clarity? I think we were really hoping for an H or higher so likely won't go with an I even though those are some nice options.
 
Dark solid inclusions can be visible and hard to ignore once seen, so for me, that ED diamond would be out. But, others are more forgiving of such inclusions.

I really like the WF stone you posted, but I would personally trade down a bit of size (7.23 m) for higher color and super-ideal, but everyone has their own balance. To me, the WF is a great choice.

JA requires that any tradeup is 2x price of the first stone. So, you'd be looking at $24k. If you go with WF, you can tradeup for a stone that is $1 more. Plus, their settings are generally of slightly better quality. Many PS members have traded their stone multiple times to gain quite a bit of size over times. Diamond shrinkage is real for many of us :whistle:

Another JA option to compare with the one you found.

That’s disappointing. G-I are all nearly colorless grades. There really is not much difference between H & I. Have you seen them side by side for comparison? I’d hate to see you pass on a diamond due to such minimal tint difference, esp if you like any of them more than others posted....
