Hi

I got a bit more information back. Still waiting on info re the inclusion on the G SI2

G SI2 is the whitest of the 3 stones but not the brightest - apparently the H SI1 and G SI2 were better in terms of light performance.

Between the H SI1 and G SI2 - the color difference is not visible by the naked eye.

Overall, H SI1 had slightly more fire/sparkle over the I SI2


Does this change any of your thoughts?

How big is the price difference? As far as one being brighter, both have great ideal scope images and to be frank, you won't notice a difference IRL....I'd go with the one that's more budget friendly....Normally I'd go for the bigger one, but I like the numbers on the G better and I'm pretty confident that it's a great stone. Especially for the money...

Prices on stones:
G SI2 - $18,250
I SI2 - about 16,600 K I think
H SI1 - $23,930


Just in terms of pricing, the I SI2 seems attractive - but it is a little smaller in ct weight and of course a lower color grade.

Sorry just need to correct some info in my post above. Between the H SI1 and I SI2 - the color difference is not visible by the naked eye.

I think the G SI2 is a good compromise. You'll absolutely notice a difference between the G and the I....The H is significantly more expensive that the other two...
 
Just got clarification. The feather is quite deep on the G SI2 can't be covered up with a prong.

From what I gather- the H SI1 and I SI2 are close in terms of performance (and color) although the gemologist says the H SI1 is better in performance.

Any preference between H SI1 or I SI2?
 
Well, if your budget can afford it, I would prefer the H SI1...Is that price that you listed after the PS members discount?

No- not yet, haven't asked for pricescope discount yet:) Right now, my friend is probably going to have to decide between the 2 stones but would be strongly influenced by the knowledgeable people here
