Help with Diamond Selection!... Please!

[jocjo]

Hello All,

So based on a lot of the great advice I''ve gotten here I''ve been going through a number of diamonds. Attached is a chart of the diamonds I''m considering.
All are eye clean. FYI - They are all offered by James Allen (Heather has been a pleasure to work with!)

What are your thoughts?
Which is the best value?
Can anyone do better from a price/value standpoint?


Thanks again!!!

Safest by the numbers will be the AGS 2.1c H SI1 followed by the other AGS stone and then the GIA 2.07c G SI1.

Make sure eye-clean and if possible get an Idealscope image.

Same order for me.

Is a thin to medium girdle a concern when setting the diamond into a prong type setting?

How about into this setting:

Should not be a concern, that is in good range thin to med. That is a pretty setting!

girdle description range of thin to slight thick is in the excellent range. Nothing to worry about.

Any thoughts on the price of the diamonds listed above? Anyone have any idea about a ''better'' deal for a similar diamond? Just curious, because I have not been able to find one via the PS search...

Thanks again!

JA''s price is very competitive. Might be possible to beat with some other vendors on PS but you will have to do more leg work searching and waiting for additional images, etc.

We can certainly take a look but the next step would be to find out if the SI clarities are eyeclean to know if it is worth proceeding with any of those.

Thanks for the responses and, yes, the SI diamonds I listed above are eye clean. So any further thoughts or recommendations?

Thanks again to all the great people on this board!
