Which stone seems the best? best value? for the

The most important fact is sparkle and color...

Are there any tests that I can do to decide since i have them here. [dip in water and see which one sinks first ;) ] I don't know much... but i have to decide tommorow to get it set.

Thanks again for the communities' help!
 
Well, we need the following items (listed below) to help you judge; you can get this information of the certificates and if you aren't sure look here. https://www.pricescope.com/cutadviser.asp

Depth %
Table %
Crown Angle %
Pavilion Angle %
Culet* %

or you can use this tool to weed out bad performing stones which scoring over 2 once you input info from the certs. https://www.pricescope.com/cutadviser.asp
 
I updated the the original post with the information you requested.
 
Do these stones have certificates from a lab? Or can you request this from the vendor???? I don't think we can help w/out getting the depth %, table %,crown angle %,pavilion angle % and cutlet if there is one.
 
Sorry I thought I update the original post but it didn''t stick i guess...

The Cert was unavailable for this stone. The jeweler just got it in, but he stated that it was cut as well as the 1.01. I wish i had the cert. Anything else i can do, maybe shine a laser into the center :)

by the numbers all are fine but they are all over the place price wise and size wise.
all else fails say get the Biggest one that looks great too your eyes.
 
You''re in a much better place to evaluate those diamonds than us here in cyberspace. You have the diamonds in front of you! If you want sparkle, evaluate them in a lighting that causes them to sparkle. You''ll have to move/rotate them to get the sparkle. And then pick the winner. Looks like your jeweler picked good one for you to pick from.
 
Well this is how they did except the last one. Which looked best to your eyes????

Factor Grade
Light Return Excellent
Fire Very Good
Scintillation Very Good

within TIC range


Light Return Very Good

AGS scores are a better indication than HCA on these combos...
The c/p/t combos have the potentual of:
ags0
ags1
ags1 maybe 0 if everything else is right.
 
Are you saying you have all these at your home?? If so, take them in as many lighting situations as possible (include diffused light, under shade tree if possible). Tip them all around to see which sparkles best, has nice fire, is nice and bright. Whichever one looks the best, buy.
 
Sorry to derail but Ellen I love your avatar LOL!
 
Got the data for the the last stone. -> It got a 2.5 on the meter.

.84
Cut - Excellent
Color - D
Clarity - SI1
62.1% depth, 55% table, 33.5° crown angle, 41.2° pavilion angle

$3318

I''m pretty sure this is the stone i am going with!

Seems the most bang for the buck.

I wish I could look and tell but, well i suck at subjective analysis. that why this meter thing is a great tool... it sort of allows me to quantitatively analyze the information.
