Help with deciding on engagement ring!

[betacode]

Looking for some help finding a round diamond for an engagement ring. There is so much information out there that it is overwhelming! Narrowed it down to roughly 1.2-1.3ct , G/H, VS2/VS1. Have tinkered with the HCA tool and understand the importance of cut. What does everyone think about the following stones? Does it matter whether the stones are in-house or virtual? Open to suggestions as well, but would like to stay within Signet if possible. Thank you in advance!

Hello and welcome to PriceScope, betacode!

The last one in your list might be worth a closer look, but I think you can do better in regards to overall cut quality and optics.

Take this beautiful and completely eye-clean ACA, for example:

Diamond | 1.322 ct H SI1 A CUT ABOVE® Hearts and Arrows Super Ideal Round Cut Loose Diamond AGS Certified | 4268726

This Whiteflash A CUT ABOVE® super ideal cut hearts and arrows 1.322 carat H color SI1 clarity loose diamond is graded by the American Gem Society (AGS) Laboratories. | 4268726

If you need to stay within Signet, I like the True Hearts stone from James Allen that you posted, as well as this one.

1.25 Carat round diamond

This 1.25 carat round diamond H color vs2 clarity has Excellent proportions and a diamond grading report from GIA

Sorry, I meant the True Hearts (not the last one) from your list, like @Kim N said.

Thank you both! How do we know that this one is completely eye-clean? I hadn't looked at Sl1 before but am willing to explore those options as well!

You can reach to WF and ask them to verify eye-clean, as well as send you all sort of pictures and videos in various lighting conditions (and even side by side comparisons to other diamonds in their inventory).

What does everyone think about this one? It’s much cheaper and the inclusions in a better position? However it’s one color grade worse. https://www.adiamor.com/Diamonds/1.31-ct-I-SI1-Excellent-Cut-Round-Diamond/D51450289?rfr=pricescope

It looks quite good actually. I'd put on hold while you're still thinking about it.
