Which of these stones would you pick?
My understanding is all 3 stones have great specs and they all got a score below 2 on HCA tool. BN provides an additional report from GCAL that show the Hearts and Arrows image... Option 3 is not BN Signature (probably due to the 58% table) but IF it's just as great of a cut (brilliant/fire), I can get slightly a bigger stone for my money.

1) $15,191 BN Signature Ideal. 3EX 1.42 ct / G / VS2

Depth: 61.7%
Table: 56%
Crown: 15.5%
Pavilion: 42.5%
Girdle: medium
Culet: None

Diamond # 2.

Yes, have you looked at other vendors?

Out of these three, number 2 is also my pick.

I like #2 as well. But if the additional size is important to you I think that #3 will still be a beautiful stone.
