Narrowing down to final choice--any input much appreciated!

[kevRing8]

Hello,

I'm new to the forum, but have been actively using PriceScope resources for several months. I've narrowed down a selection of diamonds to the following 3 after looking at HCA ratings, cut class ratings, etc. (Idealscope images below):

358879 (http://www.jamesallen.com/loose-dia...-j-color-vs2-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-358879) (1.01 J-VS2, $5,080)

362835 (http://www.jamesallen.com/loose-dia...-j-color-vs1-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-362835) (1.03 ct J-VS1, $5,300)

346112 (http://www.jamesallen.com/loose-dia...-j-color-vs2-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-346112) (1.09 ct J-VS2, $5,250)



I am by no means an expert, so any help would be greatly appreciated in making the selection! Just hoping to get a great looking diamond with great sparkle at a reasonable price. The setting will be a simple solitaire, yellow gold.

Thanks again!
Kevin

Additionally, below are the comments from the JA gemologist:

358879 (1.01 J-VS2, $5,080) - The front-runner of the lineup, this J color diamond actually faces up closer to an I to the trained eye of the Gemologist! Its overall brilliance is excellent with very good fire and sparkle, making it visibly brightest and offering the best life.

362835 (1.03 ct J-VS1, $5,300) - Coming in a very close second, this true J color diamond faces up white but has more body warmth when compared side-by-side to 358879. The overall light return and brilliance is excellent, and this diamond faces up larger than 258879.

346112 (1.09 ct J-VS2, $5,250) - The third choice of this group, this true J color diamond faces up white. Its overall light return is good, but it is not as bright as the other options.
