Need help selecting Round H&A for EG Ring

[wireddragon89]

Hi All,

New here but have been trying to soak in all of the information and make the best informed decision.
I've narrowed it down to a handful of stones from whiteflash but am having real difficulty trying to choose between them.
Based on my inexperienced understanding they all look like really great stones but I wanted to get a second set of eyes to see if there is anything I should be aware of or should be thinking about with each one.

Here's a link to the comparison page on whiteflash: https://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/compare.aspx?idnos=3816372,3751773,3798130

And here are links to the individual stones if that is easier:

Diamond 1 - 1.313 ct G SI1: https://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-3816372.htm
Diamond 2 - 1.325 ct H SI1: https://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-3751773.htm
Diamond 3 - 1.33 ct H SI1: https://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-3798130.htm


I'm planning to mount this in a version of this verragio setting:

but with the double prong head instead of the basket which will show more of the side of the stone:

Would definitely appreciate any and all feedback - I feel like I'm getting close but just want to get a second opinion before proceeding. Thanks for all of your help, love this site!

I'll let the prosumers jump in relative to performance, but I prefer the 1.313 (AGS-104092457031) of the three. The inclusions on the other two look too prominent to me. The 1.33 has a dark inclusion at 11:00 in the center and the 1.325 has several that make the stone look dusty.

Also, you should put these on hold as there are lurkers who will snag them out from under you.

I would also choose the 1.31 G. It looks pretty clean and it also does not cost a whole lot more for a higher color grade.
