I am new to diamond buying and would really appreciate some advice please. I am considering the 3 diamonds below but I can’t decide which is the best. I originally had my heart set on a D or E colour VS1 but I think these VS2’s are better cut than some of the VS1’s I have come across.
I have listed the diamonds in order of price with Diamond 1 being the most expensive. There is approx $400 difference between each.
Diamond 1: I think this one is the better cut but is it worth spending more on it over the other 2? I don’t mind spending a bit more but only if it is worth it.
