Hi all! I have been lurking and researching for a few months now. I have narrowed my search down to 3 diamonds and could use some help deciding. I am not going to be very specific because I do not have them on hold right now. All three are currently listed in stock at 1215 Diamonds (though I have found them on other websites as well, 1215 seems to have the best listed price). I will be ordering the diamond loose and purchasing the setting through a local jeweler.
Screenshots from each diamond's video are under the stats. The all score under 2 on HCA and fall within AGS Ideal on the Cut Estimator. The H diamonds do not appear to have a brownish tint in their videos. Diamond 2 actually appears whiter from the side than Diamond 3 when I toggle between videos. The inclusions visible on the third diamond worry me, but I also know that these images are greatly magnified, so I'm not sure if it is eyeclean. I am leaning toward Diamond 2, but wonder if the extra $700 is worth 15 points in carat size. Dimensions of Diamond 2 are about 0.2mm larger than Diamond 1
Diamond 1: H VS2
Table- 57%
Depth- 60.8%
Crown Angle- 34.0
Pavilion Angle- 40.9

Diamond 2: H VS2 (15 points larger and $700 price increase)
Table- 56.5%
Depth- 61.4%
Crown angle- 34.5
Pavilion angle- 40.8

Diamond 3: G SI1 (same carat size as Diamond 2 and price is about the same as Diamond 2)
Table- 57.5
Depth- 61.1%
Crown Angle- 34.0
Pavilion Angle- 40.9
