Hi, I plan to purchase one of these 3 diamonds over the weekend pending good impressions from my fellow PS'ers. Any inputs would be greatly appreciated!


Option #1

Option #2

Option #3

Which diamond would you choose and why? I'm leaning towards option #2 since the price is the lowest. Thanks in advance for all of the help.

I like #2 as well, the fact that it's a vs and cheaper than the six is interesting. It might be worth investigating and comparing inclusion plots to figure out why, not all inclusions being equal. If #2 is seen by the geologist as brightest and lively, with no transparency issues from inclusions, then it's a great selection.

Hi, I like the #2 best, as the first one looked most yellow out of the three and the #3 the inclusions were too visible.
Good luck

Hi all,

Thanks for replies!

As far as inclusions go, #2 has a feather located close to the edge of the table.

It's not visible to the naked eye according to the gemologist, and does not pose a durability risk accordingly as well. The fact that it's a VS2 helps me believe the gemologist based on Internet research and the GIA website.

Does anyone have any inputs on the feather?

The inclusion plot is provided on the first link (right below the 360 view)

Hi, I only just saw the feather after you pointed it out ( I'm sure in a "real" size it will be hard to see ... If)..to me the #2 still looks the best,
Let us know which stone will you go with!

I'm still leaning towards #2 but would like to be sure it poses no durability risk before purchase.

Any other thoughts?
