I would go bigger, for science. I think I like the 3.56 the best. I love the 16% crown height. And, I'm not picking it just because it's the biggest!

 

[blingbae]

Thank you everyone!!
Ended up ordering the 3.18ct from @Kim N and will hopefully get it by Friday!
I've used up my 2 returns from ritani so don't want to order from them just in case.

I think it is!! Unless you or @DejaWiz see any red flags lol.
I didn't see the inclusions, so just going to take it to my jeweler to make sure they are ok and not too serious.
My videos are horrid, but its a lot more sparkly than the other 2 I had purchased. I'm so happy!

 

[momofive]

Wow! It even sparkles in low light. Congratulations. I hope it works for you.

I see nothing red being reflected, especially flags!

Finally got to check her out in jewelry store lighting lol! Will be ordering a slightly thinner band for the engagement ring and wedding band from a jaffe.

So happy that I went with the gcal 8x grading, it gave me comfort knowing that what I was getting was one of the best of the best diamonds. The way it sparkles in the light is so mesmerizing and was exactly what I was looking for! A little worried that it’s cvd but I didn’t see anything that stood out as an issue.

Adiamor and Ritani were great to order from. When I googled the certificate number of my diamond, I noticed the google listing for the stone on Adiamor was almost $600 less. They ended up price matching the google listing which I really appreciated.

Of course I’ll be posting when I get the actual finished rings!! Just wanted to share a peak from yesterday. @Kim N @DejaWiz @momofive @lovedogs @Txborn79 and everyone else who took the time to aid in my search, THANK YOU
