Hi guys I'm new here and would love to hear opinions from those more knowledgeable then I. I started reading about diamonds two days ago and while I learned a lot, I'm still not confident making a decision. I'm in search of a .8 carat diamond and I have a couple that I am considering.

Second one is larger.... of the James Allen ones (3rd is larger than second).

What are you seeing in the Blue Nile that makes it better then the other 2? For me it looks like the clarity grade is better. Just curious if there anything else you're seeing that i'm not.

It’s crisp and sharp with beautiful fat arrows.

Sorry, I just realized the Hp stone is out of your price range.

The second and larger James allen stone has the wonky arrow centers.

Thanks for your input. it helped a lot in narrowing the diamonds down. So far the Blue Nile makes the most sense as its cheaper and also has a better clarity grade.

Sounds like a logical choice.
