Need suggestions in choosing a stone

[dreamer]

I did some research and narrowed down to these stones with the HCA score.

Could you pls advice me about the pros and cons of these stones? It will help me in my purchase a lot..

Dreamer: thanks.......somewhat easier, although I'd still narrow down to three stones.

Having said that, they all look to be dead heats, so to speak. Based sheerly on presence, I'd pick the .80 I, VS2 from all of these.

You did it in your post below with one of them already!

The first .80 I/VS2 or if $400.00 is alot to you the last on .73.

May I suggest that you go to an SI1. The price break is significant. In a stone this size, it's very likely the stone will be eye clean.

Thanks for the reply. Here are the hyperlinks to my stones. I tried narrowing it to 3 stones. But just couldn't!! Hard to let go of any of them!

Could I pls request your feedback and reviews on these stones? It is critical for me.. Thanks.

I agree with F&I....if it were me, I'd drop down to an eye-clean SI-1 and get more stone presence.

However, if you're adamant about staying with choosing between all these, I'll say it again.........I'd choose the .80 stone. There's really no huge material difference in performance between any of these stones.....all will look beautiful, but you'll get more presence/size from the .80.
