Opinions on Diamonds

Searching on a few websites I found a few diamonds that looked promising:

and

This one from Brilliant Earth

What do you guys think. I''m comparing these against a few I''ve seen at a B&M dealer here in Massachusetts.

All of the above diamonds are Ideal cut and all (except the Brilliant earth because the info wasn''t on the page) tested well in the HCA test. FWIW these are all priced around the bottom of what I budgeted I could go up by a couple thousand if something really nice presented itself.

I have not heard of brilliant earth, and without specs its impossible to assess.

The other three look good. I like bigger, so if you like the 1.32 then request an IS image from JA.

Yeah Brilliant Earth doesn''t seem to be talked about as much around here. I heard it on a commercial on NPR one day. They guarantee the sourcing of their diamonds and use recycled metals to reduce the impact as those as well. I like the concept of the site, but the results people get from the other sites seem more consistent.
