Help with diamond selection

[davemtu56]

Am looking for a .95-1.1 CT Princess cut diamond with a budget of $5500-$6000. Want something that really sparkles. Looking at these four stones:

Any preference on which is the best? Negatives? Any help would be great!

This is the setting I want to use:

Thanks for any advice/suggestions!

Hi dave,

I'm sure they would all be pretty, but my pick would be the WF 1.043. I like its ASET the best.

Ditto-ish. I''d want their input on that one compared to the second one.

Thanks for the help, I ended up going with the 1.043 from WF. I''m picking it up today after work and hopefully it looks as good as advertised.
Now, being new to the whole diamond purchase, I paid $5996 for it, and was wondering if that was a good price. After looking around, it seemed to be a good price, but always want to make sure. Anybody ever have any problems with WF ACA diamonds? Thanks for all the help.

Nope, not that I''m aware of.

I think you paid a fair price, and got a very beautiful diamond. Congrats!

And we''d love to see pics if possible.
