my vote is for #1

 

[Sundial]

Good looking bunch of diamonds, but no. 5 would be my choice.

 

[pahoyafan]

If #1 is eyeclean it looks like a great stone.

 

[belle]

all are very nice..
i''ll take #3

 

[jimk]

Thanks for the replies. Can you tell me why the stone you chose jumped out at you? Anyone else care to chime in? (And #3 has been sold, so I''m down to 5 diamonds.)

 

[belle]

now that my first choice is gone

i like the last one...the angles are nice and i like the thin girdle

My vote is to have WF/Brian look at them and pick out the one he likes best (given any specific criteria you have). I did that and the stone he selected is beautiful.

 

[jimk]

Thanks everyone. Good advice - I will certainly have someone at WF pull them and look at them to confirm that I''m picking a good one.

#1 is eye-clean, by the way.

I am going to choose 2 to send to a local appraiser for Thursday and look at them myself. Hopefully, they''ll both be beautiful and I''ll feel like I can''t go wrong with either (in which case, I''ll buy the cheaper one!)!

Mara? I''d love your input if you see this!

#3 says it''s sold??

 

[jimk]

Yes, Kaleigh. It was purchased right out from under me! Nah, just kidding. I'm down to 4 stones now:
1, 4, 5, and 6. 4 - 6 are all VS1/2, so they should be eye-clean. 1 is SI1, and I asked - it is eye-clean. Thanks for your input!


ETA: I'll put the four into a new post to clean this up. Thanks again, everyone.
