Need help deciding on these 3 stones

[brent127]

I am searching for a diamond for an engagement ring and have found 3 potential stones on jamesallen. I just wanted to see if you all could give some feedback on what you think.
My budget is about 3800 for the diamond and want it to be around 1 Ct.


#1
#2
#3


Thanks in advance for any help and advice that you can give!!!

1 & 2 have good possibilities, ask for an IS of both. #3 is getting into steep/deep, where the diamond doesn't perform as well, so I'd pass on that one. I prefer the numbers on #1, but an IS will tell more. Also make sure to ask if they are eye-clean to your standards.

Ditto Jet, the first one looks very promising, ask for an Idealscope image for it, the second could be ok but an IS image is essential, the third one I would skip as it is what we call a steep deep, it will very likely show light leakage.

Also with SI clarity grades, check carefully with the vendor they are eyeclean to your standards.

Great, thanks for the advice.

I requested the IS and I''ll post them whenever they send them to me.

Thanks again!!
