The F SI1 should be eye clean, and with nice well balanced specs. That would be my pick.

Ditto @Dancing Fire ...the SI1 looks very clean. That would be my choice.

The 1.42 F VS2 looks brighter in the center and possibly a higher F color than the SI stone. I wouldn't personally pay for F color and go with SI clarity. I wouldn't pay the difference for the VS1 in this case.

They are shown in order of VS1, VS2, and SI1.

What other pictures should I ask for? Their choice was the SI1 for the price point. 1.40ct F VS1_1.428ct F VS2_1.44ct F SI1_2.jpg 1.40ct F VS1_1.428ct F VS2_1.44ct F SI1_1.jpg

Ask if they can send pictures and videos in different lighting environments.

I can actually speak on this with first hand knowledge.

I was at WF on Monday to get my ring cleaned and to look at wedding bands.

so just for fun I asked to look at some diamonds similar to mine.

I have a 1.51 G SI1

We were shown a G, H, I and your FSI1 (the others were Vs1 and Vs2). the only thing I remember is that F. Both my and my Fiancee's eyes were drawn to that F. It's bright, beautiful and sparkles like crazy. That's my pick...
