Please help me choose my first diamond!

I have selected some potential diamonds for an engagement ring from WF.

http://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/compare.aspx?idnos=3372532,3260759,3236273,3265525

The main differences are carat (1.178 to 1.30, color (F to H), and clarity (VS1 to VS2). HCA grades are 1.1 to 1.4.

Can any be rejected based on their IS or ASET?

Which would you choose and why?

Thank you so much for your input!

WF has already done the work for you. All you have to do is pick out the one you like best. I personally would go for the largest. I like a VS1 or better, and would be quite happy with an H. Everyone has their preferences. Some will like the smaller table on the first one, etc. etc. In any event you cannot go wrong with anything from this lineup.

wow OP, we have very similar budget and preference. Let us know what you end up with

I'm also interested to know what are the key characteristics to look for in those graph.

They are all superb - pick whichever tickles your fancy. Personally I'd take the biggest one - I think H is plenty white, but I will say I think VS1 is overkill.

I like the F VS2.

Thanks for your input everyone. Two weeks have gone by and I have narrowed down my search even further. Opinions bases on these images only would be greatly appreciated. I am looking for the better performing diamond of the two, despite one being slightly larger, one less grade in color, and a little more expensive. Thanks so much!
