I like #1

#2 is out low crown and marginal p3's

#3 is so-so better than 2 worse than 1, closer to 2 than to 1

Thanks for the quick reply! The vendor is telling me that Diamond 3 seems to be the best looking one if not looking at the numbers and ASET results, it''s a G VVS1, and they say that the color & clarity seems to make it better. Diamond 1 is a G VS2 and Diamond 2 is a H VS2. Any further comments? Thanks for the quick reply!!

I like diamond three, also, mostly going off of the glamour shot. I like the crispness.

#1 is great

My gut said #1.

Thanks everyone for your kind help! Looks like #1 is the leader so far... I''m trying to organize a pic of all 3 together, I will add it onto this post when I get it.

Strmrdr, regarding the color & clarity... This is the wording that was used by my vendor: "Between all three the more desired is the 1.01 G VVS1 due to the performance(not looking at the images only the diamonds)."

So naturally I asked what does "more desired" mean? This is the reply: "I was told that the overall look, without looking at the images, was the best looking one. It could be due to the G color and clarity combo."

Going by the performance images, they recommended Diamond #2 because "the ASET looks much better than the others", but that is why I posted here asking for other expert opinions

Definitely the first would be my choice Lestat.

Thanks everyone for your opinion! It looks like I''ll be purchasing Diamond #1, here is a photo of all 3 diamonds together followed by the section of the GIA certificate showing the inclusions. No problems there?

P.S. After seeing the photo of all 3 together, my vendor is now recommending Diamond #1 as well
