Need Your Help Choosing a Pear

[han001]

I''ve been working with Josh at James Allen to narrow my choices down to 5 stones. I have specs, magnified images, and IdealScope images for each. I''ve read about looking at fancy shapes with an IdealScope but don''t have a lot of experience.

Which one would you choose??

Even though the specs show it''s a very deep stone, personally, I''m leaning towards #1

Here''s #1:

Carat: 0.54
Color: E
Clarity: SI2
Depth: 68
Table: 56
Girdle: Slightly thick to very thick
Culet: None
Measurements: 6.47*4.56*3.10

Here''s #2:
Carat: 0.5
Color: E
Clarity: SI1
Depth: 67.6
Table: 59
Girdle: Slight thick to very thick
Measurements: 6.37*4.47*3.02

Here''s #3 - I don''t have a magnified image for this one. Looks like it''s got quite the bowtie?
Carat: 0.57
Color: D
Clarity: SI2
Depth 60.4
Table: 61
Girdle: Medium to V Thick
Measurements: 6.71*4.80*2.90

Depth: 61
Table: 60
Girdle: Slight thick to extremely thick
Measurements: 6.33*4.61*2.81

Table: 61
Girdle: Thick to Extremely Thick
Measurements: 6.08*4.63*2.95

#4 is nice, but it seems lopsided?

 

[han001]

Hmm.. now that I look at it again it might be. Could just be that I stretched the image. Will definitely ask Josh about that one.

Anyone else?? What do you choose??

Definitly not #5 or #4 (unless its not lopsided). I have to agree #1 has the nicest shape.
I wish you had a picture of #3. #3 and #4 have the best cut according to the depth/tables.

Yes, #3, if I am looking at the picture correctly (correct me if I am wrong), has the least amount of light leak. The others seem to have more...

Despite it''s depth, I''m leaning toward one too.

Thanks Gypsy, Daisi, Tyty and Julie!

Hoping others can chime in with their thoughts - I clearly need some help!!
