I have 24hrs and 3 Idealscopes. I hope this is it!

I requested 3 diamonds for idealscope images at James Allen and I think I may have a winner. They are only on hold for 24 more hours.

My favorite, and the one the gemologist said had the best performance is the 1.7ct. The fluorescence does not negatively effect the stone. Please give me your opinion on these stones (especially the 1.7ct). Very very much appreciated!

Thanks again everyone for your help on this diamond journey!

I like the looks of that 1.7 quite a bit. The middle one has something SMACK dead in the table, that would bug me.

The 1.7 looks like a pretty clear winner to me. The 1.65 is shows a little leakage on the bottom center of the table and the 1.62 you can definitely see the white leakage.

The 1.7ct that you and the JA gemologist like best looks beyond reproach to me

I think the 1.7 is the winner of the 3..
Both from the idealscopes and the fact that it is strong blue (should face up whiter).

I'd ask the gemologist if this stone has a blue tint when in sunlight - some do, some don't. Some like it, some don't.
Personally I think it looks really nice !

Thank you for all your opinions thus far, I think I may order the 1.7ct tonight! I'm looking to set it in the 4 prong solitaire (platinum)

Just ordered the 1.7ct! Thanks everyone for your help. I'll follow up with pictures when it arrives

So James Allen shipped the stone yesterday and it arrived this morning! It is set in the 4 prong platinum knife edge setting. I don't have a great camera to do the stone justice but gave it a shot! It looks whiter than I expected for an "I" and has lots of fire! Thank you for all your help!

The JA appraisal was around the expected 40% markup. Hopefully I can get insurance at JM closer to my cost!
