If you post what your budget is as well as your priority for size color clarity, there will be several people here who can give you great advise and help finding you a nice diamond.

I would only consider a diamond that is Excellent or Ideal cut, none of the 3 you posted are.

My budget is $3500.00 for the diamond. Size of 3/4 or bigger carat. Since the ring is made out of platinum I want to stick with a H+ color VS2 and higher clarity.

I will bump you. Have you done a search for diamonds at the top of the forum page? That may be of great help, good place to start.

I'm not seeing anything with better cut <3500 H VS2, you might need to go to I or SI1, both of which will be fine.

I am rather new to all of this, but did a little looking for you...Check Whiteflash.com, they had a AGS Ideal cut in your size & price range, I tried to link it but don't know how.

Good luck on your search, I would recommend you stay with an Excellent or Ideal cut to get a nice diamond, also as was recommended, consider I color as well as SI1 diamonds.

I prefer the other 3 posted above...the 1 from Whiteflash and the 2 from BGD, all are AGSL Ideal cuts, the Whiteflash is Hearts & Arrows top of the line and all 3 are cheaper.

The GIA .72 F-VS1 diamond you spec here, looks good on paper, HCA falls at 1.1, please post pictures/idealscope.
