Help with choosing a diamond

Cj2324 · Apr 6, 2015

Hi, I messed up my first post but could someone please advice me on the best option here ? I've done tons of research the past few weeks but it's so hard to go solely off of that and not by sight also. Especially for something so expensive. Outside of school, I have never seen something so complicated and with so many different variables haha. I used the HCA tool for each of these diamonds and they scored like this

1.40ct= Total Visual Performance of (1) Excellent
1.42ct= Total Visual Performance of (1.3) Excellent
1.50ct= Total visual performance of (2) Very Good

Here are the GIA Grading Reports

1.40ct $7547

No pictures of the actual diamonds? The HCA is an elimination tool, not a selection tool. I also noted that the first 2 diamonds have medium fluoro and the last diamond has strong blue fluoro. Did you deliberately seek diamonds with blue fluoro?

I am still waiting on detailed pictures. I do have the original listing photos for two of them. On the fluorescence, I did seek that out actually. My budget seems to only allow for higher color for that weight so I thought fuorescence would offset that a little. I also really like the look of the diamonds I have seen with fluorescence.
