Help picking diamond: RE-UPLOAD

[Diamond_Dan]

Hi everyone,

I had a diamond purchased recently (a 1.16 carat, I color) but unfortunately the supplier got back to me after my order to say there was a mix up and it is no longer available. So I’m back to the drawing board so to speak. I have 3 diamonds I am reviewing.

my ladies finger size is 7.

• The setting is gold 14K pave.
• There are 2 diamonds the side of the pave rated in between ‘G-H’. I realise this isn’t ‘I’ colour but the James Allen staff assured me it wouldn’t effect it.
• Please find the setting here: https://www.jamesallen.com/engageme...ite-diamond-accent-engagement-ring-item-50202

The 4 diamonds are below . They are all True Hearts apart from 1 (the 1.22) and are all Colour I. They range between VS2 and VVS2 and their carat sizes are 1.04/1.05/1.13. The Ideal Scope and GIA reports with links to the diamonds provided.

So the 1.22 is no longer a contender? To avoid confusion it's likely best to delete the other thread since the diamonds on this list are different.

Yes I wanted to take it off just because they told me there is no ideal scope they can share with me, so it’s hard to judge the diamond fully unfortunately. I do have the GIA report now although (shown below)

1.22 Carat - Price $6150

OK, so defininitely not the 1.22 due to the 32.5 crown.

I like the 1.05 and 1.17 a lot. Those are my 2 favorites. Where is the cert for the 1.17? I think given the extra .3mm between the 1.17 and 1.05 it's worth getting the bigger stone if you can swing the extra 1k.

Sorry I thought I put the cert fir the 1.17 in. Please find it attached...

Sorry this is the last option I will put. Would be interested to hear any thoughts on this with the others as well. Thanks!

1.25 - price $7190 (may be able to bring down price)
