The first one looks good other than I personally don't like the inclusions. The second link wouldn't open for me, but the images look good. The third one looks like it has potential but the report wouldn't open for me. Just remember that you are matching diameter and not weight, so you can look at .89-.92 or so to find good matches for cut and diameter.

So sorry to just now find this again! The stone looks good, but I personally like better clarity than that, so I am not the best person to answer. For SI1 I prefer white/colorless inclusions and not black. I am not sure what the yellowish tint is. I imagine that no one could see the inclusions because of the distance the stones would be seen on the ears, however. I just upgraded my Whiteflash studs and did get one SI1 and one VS2, but the SI1 has white inclusions that I can barely see with a loupe. I will add that if you ever think you'd upgrade, there are vendors such as Whiteflash that have much better upgrade policies than B2C.

Thanks! That's a good point you made there - will need to check on the upgrade policies.

I believe B2C subtracts 20% of the value of the first diamonds when you upgrade them. Whiteflash allows 100% of what you paid on the first diamonds (not including shipping or settings) toward the second diamonds. That's pretty much why I went in that direction, plus they have top cut stones, and I really have gradually upgraded a few times!

Thanks for the suggestion Yaya348 that would've been a perfect if it were slightly higher on the color scale.

I've checked as well the upgrade policies and while whiteflas has a more generous policy than b2c I am still considering the latter bec they have stones in the size range I was targeting. In any case was hoping to get your opinions again on this last pair. Do they look clean to you? (The black dots scattered all over the 1st stone make me slightly uncomfortable)
