I need to decide on a stone for my gf's engagement ring VERY soon! I am working with GOG, and I need to decide between these stones, according to the sales assistant working with me, all of these are beautiful stones, but I cannot make up my mind! I am mainly interested in real life performance, so I am ok with being able to see the inclusion at 10x or with a loupe, I just dont I just don't want my gf to be able to notice them once she is wearing the ring, when she looks at it with unaided eye, or when she shows it to her friends.
So these are the stones:
0.96ct H SI2 Premium Round Ideal Cut Diamond
http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/11910/
This SI2 stone is my first choice, as it is the largest of them and it is within my budget, my sales assistant says this stone is one of the best SI2's we they have ever seen and that it looks more like an SI1 to the human eye. The GIA report says the inclusions are twining wisps, crystals, and feathers but the only inclusion he is able to see after going far out of my way to find it, was the feather.
0.9ct H SI1 Premium Round Ideal Cut Diamond
http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/11717/
This stone is a bit smaller and a few bucks cheaper, and has better clarity. Yet the inclusion in the microscopic images looks to be smack in the middle of the table albeit being a SI1, also from the images it looks bigger than the one on the SI2. So that makes me a bit nervous.
0.8ct F SI1 Superior Round Hearts & Arrows Diamond
http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/11741/
This last one has better color, and better symmetry, and appears to have just very very tiny inclusions but it is a bit smaller.
Thank you for your inputs! I want to make the decision this weekend and pull the trigger next week!
