Looking for some advice on a 1 - 1.2 ct round!

[mysteriouslyunknown]

Hi All,

I started to do my research a little while back and have mostly narrowed down my choices. I've mostly been looking for a diamond between 1-1.1ct, VS1 and F colour or above. Sadly I'm located in Canada so the majority of US retailers either don't ship to Canada or make it difficult to do so. With that being said, I've narrowed my choices to the following stones, could you let me know if I'm on the right path?

Option 1) 1.05 E colour VS1
HCA Score 1.2



Option 2) 1.06 E colour VS1
HCA 1.1


Option 3) 1.11 E Colour VS1
This one seems to have more noticable inclusisons on the table, I don't think they would be very visible but it might affect light performance?

Thanks for all of your help!

I have come across them and considered some of their stones for a bit but I did some back of the envelope math and the return shipping with insurance would have been prohibitively expensive from where I live in case I needed to return it for whatever reason. One way would be to just buy the loose diamond and have the setting done here but I think I would prefer to have everything done in one shop.

I do love That GCAL 8x stone though! Their reports go into so much more detail than IGI ones.

I love the 1.05. Gorgeous in every way.
