Thank you Dreamer.

Both JA diamonds look good r&r, the table size is fine. You would need to request IS images for both, also it looks like the first JA diamond is the same as the WF stone. Check with any SI clarity that it is eyeclean to your standards.

The GOG diamond looks good also.

You already know where I stand with the information available. Ask JA about eye-clean and for IS images (they will hold the diamonds until 24hrs after they send you the images) and go from there--it may help narrow the field, or may tell you that all three are excellent stones. You are definitely on the right track.

It is interesting that JA has the pics and cert for a virtual stone. Is that typical for them?

Update!

Last month, I purchased the JA 1.7 ct stone. Although I was skeptical about working with an online retailer, the transaction was conducted without any "hiccups."

Working with Jim was a breeze.

I had the stone set in a custom setting and plan on proposing this week!

Thanks again for all the help.
