Please help me choose between these three stones

[ladyv]

Hello,
First time posting here, even tho I came to this site many times for help from all of you, and it had helped me quiet a bit,
and I''m trying to decided between three of the stones from Bluenile.com. This is for my engagement ring, and my first stone, so I''d really appreciate if anybody can help me choose between three, or let me know if none of these are that great and that I should search for more.
Here''s the link:

Can you paste the individual links please? Your comparison link is not working.

It is against forum policy for vendor to advertise their own goods.

ya, work now.

I prefer the numbers from #2 stone, but all are in the zone where leakage is possible and will require an Idealscope image. But BN will not be able to provide that. Are you stuck with BN or are you willing to use other online vendors that provide Idealscope image?

I would really prefer images for these but if I had to choose I would be most interested in the second diamond.

I'm open to other sites too. Can you recommmend me one? I chose BN because that's about theonly site I knew about. thanks...
Will there be a difference in brightness,etc between VG and EX? I like 2nd one too, but concerned b/c it's nt EX/EX/EX

GIA Ex cut allows for proportion that leaks light through the pavilion, which is what your selections are likely to be, so it will not have the best light return possible. For polish and symm, non expert using naked eye will not be able to tell the difference between an EX and a VG grade.

What is your budget and specs?

No way to tell without seeing the diamonds or images, otherwise it is pure speculation.
