Idealscope images - help please!

[meataxe]

Hi all,

I've got idealscope images back for 3 diamonds, and would greatly appreciate your help in interpreting them! Diamonds A and B are GIA Ex/Ex/Ex, diamond C is an AGS 000 hearts and arrows. Girdles for all are thin to medium 3.0%, all <2.0 on HCA.

Diamond C appears to have a fair amount of white in the outer circuit, and the area around the table appears lighter than A and B. A little concerned with this.

Please help in ranking these 3, many thanks again!

Absolutely nothing to be concerned with w/ any of them (or any way to meaningfully rank them, ISs on all three are fine ) The photography/lighting on the third is a bit different. You don't need to worry about differences between photos, only on the changes from white-pale-pink/red/purple in each individual image.

Thanks Amy and Yssie.

I have narrowed it down to diamonds A and C now - anyone else care to share their wisdom? This is doing my head in

Go with the cheaper stone? Go with the stone with the bigger diameter? I don't think there's a bad choice here. The only negative I can think of is that C may face up with a slightly smaller diameter for the same carat weight due to the increased depth. But the difference is probably not enough to be noticeable without any visual aids.
