Help this Neophyte Choose!

Hi All,

I've been a longtime lurker and am finally ready to make the plunge. However, before I finally decide I need some help deciding between these three.

The benefit of Whiteflash is that the setting I like is there, which makes things more simple....

However, I always prefer the best deal =P


Thank you!

I like either the first JA option (based on the numbers alone) or the WF option. Since your preferred setting is at WF then that is the direction that I would go.

Ditto Christina...the first stone or the WF.

What do you guys think of this stone?

It is an I color and Si1, but they said it was completely eye clean on inspection. It is also "A Cut Above", if that is worth anything.

ACAs are always a beautiful choice and I prefer the cut of the second stone to the first,though they both appear to be very nice stones. Tough call though, I personally would prefer an H to an I so... Eye clean though is good enough for me but you should be clear with the vendor about what you consider to be eye clean. Have you had an opportunity to view different color grades in well cut diamonds? Are you or your gf color sensitive?
