Hello all. I've learned a ton reading all the posts and have finally started narrowing down my choices. I'm currently waiting on ideal scopes for 2 diamonds with James Allen and in the midst of waiting, I found two other diamonds from Ritani that I have requested imagery for. At this point I have a chance to be able to send a Ritani diamond to a local jewelry store to view while I wait for the ideal scopes. Based on stats alone ( I know an ideal scopes are game changers but time is of the essence), which of these has the best potential? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks again.

Ritani ( no ideal scopes available and waiting on videos)

Well as far as color, you're kind of all over the map there. You have an E option and an I option!

My pick would be diamond #1 as the angles and table look most promising.

I'm leery of the shallow crown angles of options 2 through 4. Diamond 4 has a huge table which will sacrifice fire in the stone.
