Looking for opinions on final decision...

[cavalier23]

Thanks all for any feedback on the 3 stones below, trying to decide which to go with. Still new at this.. Also being a VS1 I do not need to be concerned with the inclusions referenced on GIA or AGS reports, correct? Does that apply to VS2 as well? I imagine I could drop to VS2 and move color to F. Thanks

I would prefer #3, best price. :p

Ranking in preference is #3, #2, #1.

2 and 3 are quite similar. #1 might be too, but GIA round the numbers of the crown, pavilion angles so it could be off in the bad direction. An IS/ASET image could be the deciding factor if you have access to them?

VS should be eye-clean from the table unless you have very good eye-sight.

They all have potential to be nice, but we'd need an IS for them. Also, I would actually suggest staying at G and going down to VS2-SI1. VS2 is quite safe if you don't have super duper louper eyesight, and there are even many SI1's that are totally eyeclean. That way you could either save some money, or, get a bigger stone....
