Ok everyone, I’ve posted a few times and narrowed my search to three stones at HPD. I know HPD has a stellar reputation and that I can’t go wrong with any of these options. However, it feels wrong to go ahead and purchase one without asking for your input on the best cut / price value of these stones. :mrgreen2: If there’s any you would rule out or think stands out above the other, please let me know! I originally was thinking 1.4G as I’m color sensitive and these are the stones in stock that are similar.. thank you in advance!!

1.35 ct E VS2


1.35 ct H SI1

1.63 ct G SI1

I would go for the biggest I could afford (especially if there are no upgrades likely in your future). Also, be willing to explore your options regarding colour and clarity. Good luck:)

if i were in your position, and you prioritize size, i'd select the g color 1.63

if i were in your position and you prioritize color, then i'd select e color 1.35

cut is not something to worry over with these diamonds as they are hpd/cbi

please do be sure to post plenty of images once you've decided and set it into a piece of jewelry!

Thank you all! I’m not intending to upgrade... any last input before I decide? The arrows on the gcal images look different to me between the G and the others (red and white photo), would you anticipate any noticeable difference in real life?

Just the images provided for each stone on the HPD website (they just say gcal on the bottom)
