Newbie looking for some advice: Which GIA Stone is better?

[masterkm]

Hi Guys,

Was looking at these 3 diamonds, all similar priced GIA but cannot find out which one is the better one and why?

I have tried to upload an image showing the details of the 3 i am looking at but not seeming to work so can only post the GIA numbers.

Would appreciate it if someone could advise me on which one would be best.

The 3 diamonds are GIA certified: 5146918309, 2151763113, 2155342826

Thanks

And what are they for - earrings? Ring? What setting style - bezel? Very open three-prong custom job?

5146918309 - No.

Thanks for the replies, each one is approximately around £1000 and its for a Platinum Engagement Ring with stones in the shoulders. Its a 4 claw setting shown in the image below:

Why would you say no to the first one out of curiosity?

I checked the HCA ratings of these and the 1st stone had a 3.6 rating compared to the 3rd with a 1.5 rating. So I now see why it was a no or is there another reason?

The only one that is available out of these is the 1st stone which you said no to.
