Please help me decide between three ACA Princess cuts

[rockumich]

I need some expert advice. I''ve narrowed down my search to three Whiteflash ACA princess cuts. The three are very similar, the only major differences are the girdle, the Ideal Scope images (but are the differences significant enough for the price difference between #1 and #2?), and the price. By the way, is G too risky for a princess cut? Thanks!

Diamond #3 - http://www.whiteflash.com/aca_princess/A-Cut-Above-Princess-cut-diamond-617019.htm

Possible issues with all three: #1 has a thin girdle, #2''s inclusions are in the center of the table, and #3 is more expensive than either of the two (is it worth it?).

A G should be fine. I would ask the good folk at WF which one they recommend.

I spent four months chosing a princess cut. I nearly got D1 but instead went for one which was the same price but with more (what i percieved to be) symetrical ASET and IDEALSCOPE images. Put in 20 instead of 22 in the end of the diamond number in the URL and you can see the one i got.

Out of all of them i would get D2, it looks like the IS and ASET is more even across the diamond.

As for it being a G, my misses was absolutely over the moon with hers (only got engaged on the saturday just gone).

The G looks very white, and the ACA fire is stunning in low lighting.

Ensure the setting for the stone protects the edges (the say a thin girdle can make it easier to damage during setting)

All the best,

Thanks Lorelei and PapaSB - I will ask WF over the phone their opinion, although I do think I''m leaning towards Diamond 2. PapaSB - it is so good to hear that you loved the ACA you bought!

Does anyone know if WF offers a discount for paying by bank wire? It would be nice to hear others'' opinions on the 3 choices above too. Thanks!!! I owe everyone on this site so much!

do a quick search for pricescope discount on this forum and you should see some details about what WF offer.
