I am starting a new post after posting this in another thread so I can get more members' input. Anyone with advice feel free to chime in!
@Garry H (Cut Nut), I find your tool very fascinating and appreciate your insights into the cuts of diamonds. Based on your experience, which of the below do you think would make for the best engagement ring? (Note it will be a simple 4-prong setting on a knife-edge platinum band with no halo or smaller crystals. The lady is a ring size 6.5.)
2.01 ct I SI1 (HCA score of 0.7 - big). GIA cert with dimensions. See attachment for photo of ASET.
2.02 ct I SI1 (HCA score of 1.6 - average). GIA cert with dimensions.
2.23 ct G SI1 (HCA score of 1.3 - average). GIA cert with dimensions.
I've seen the 2.01 ct and 2.23 ct in person but it's not possible to see them next to each other so it's difficult to tell which is better (both are eye clean). I have only seen the 2.02 ct online. I only have an ASET image for the 2.01 ct at this time. I'm having a tough time coming to a decision and would very much value your opinion/advice. I understand you also cannot see the diamonds at all but am looking for your opinion based on the dimensions and info provided.
Best,
Adam
