Help Selecting James Allen Diamond

[dantheo]

Hi everyone! I am looking to get some help selecting a JA princess cut diamond. I am going to call and get a meeting set up with a gemologist there, but they only allow three diamonds to be discussed at a time... This is the setting I am interested in. http://www.jamesallen.com/engagement-rings/pave/18k-White-Gold-2-2mm-Pave-Set-Diamond-Ring.html I''ve attached the setting I would like shown with a Princess 0.50 Carat E VVS1 Ideal Cut Diamond. So basically I am looking for a diamond around that size. The most important thing to me though is the sparkle and brilliance of the diamond. After I choose 3 potential ones, I''ll ask for some ASET images and show them to you too...Here are three that I would consider. My budget for the diamond is up to $1300. Thanks for the help!



Diamond 1

Diamond 2

Diamond 3

Hi dantheo

They all have potential but I like the third diamond best.

I''m going with 3 also

...I also think 1 is lovely but 3 is pretty and has a little more size. I dont care for 2.

Thank you for the replies both of you! Do either of you have any suggestions for other princess diamonds in my price range from JA? I just want to make sure I pick three good ones to look at with their gemologist over the phone. THanks!
