JA diamond selection help

[Alisto]

Ok, a bit overwhelmed. Finally decided on this setting at JA. Now I just need help picking a stone.

Here are some that I've narrowed it down to. Mostly the True Hearts since IdealScope is included. Thoughts? The ring size is a 4.5, so it's not like we need a huge stone on her hand. When she tried some on, the .7 - .75 range had the best look.

So... thoughts?

Ok, some updates as I've continued to look. I'm determined to order as soon as possible. So... should I go with one of these, which already have IdealScope images:

Or should I ask for IdealScope images for these:

http://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/0.75-carat-g-color-vs1-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-490022

Or do you have some other great JA suggestion? Looking to spend up to $3800 on the diamond. Prefer quality over additional size. Basically, when she's showing it off I want people to be blinded by the sparkle.

All the "true hearts" are going to be very beautiful cuts and will be plenty sparkly. If you are in a hurry to purchase, are set on JA as your vendor, and don't want to wait for idealscope images, my choice would be the 0.73 F VS1 or maybe the 0.73 E though a single crystal on an SI1 may be problematic if you have good eyes and are looking for it. I don't like either H at all (especially the 0.73). Look at the color in those stones compared to the GIA graded H stone you listed. The amount of color saturation is higher than I'd want if I was looking for an H color stone.

Here is a comparison to illustrate it:

Change the view to the side view to really see the color difference.

Thanks. I hadn't noticed the color difference. Definitely crossing those off the list.

I'm not opposed to waiting for IdealScope images if you have recommendations on ones to request.

Ring has been ordered, no further assistance needed. Thanks, everyone.
