help us pick a WF ACA ring

[ezwinner701]

My finance is a little skeptical about buying online so she wants a taste first. Which of these would you guys choose? we are looking to spend ~$1500 including a basic tiffany 6 prone setting.

we like the price of the last one, and I know the SI 1 will be eye clean, but what about the J color, how would that look on the setting? will it be too yellow?

feel free to give us other recommendations around our price range as well!

Thanks Guys!!

A J would be fine in the setting, but is your gal ok with that color? If she hasn't seen color that low, I'd take her somewhere that sells well cut stones, like HOF, and let her decide what her comfort level is with color.

As for your 2 stones, not looking at color and price, it would be splitting split hairs to pick.

I agree with Ellen, but I would pick the G stone or this H VS2 which is only around $80+ more.

Here is a couple of others to consider, that would fit with your budget and are a better color than a J . . .
And don''t forget the PS discount:
