All of the diamonds are below 2 on the HCA. Here were the sentiments from the JA staff: "As its idealscope image indicates, diamond 1528092 offers great fire, brilliance, and scintillation. In addition to being exceptionally bright, it is eye clean and has a true "H" color that will appear perfectly white. It has the best polish of the group and our gemologist favored it the most. Diamonds 1524952 and 1461897 are equally beautiful and tie for a very close second in regards to light performance. As expected, both of them are also eye clean and have a nice "H" color."

Please provide feedback. I need to make a decision by tomorrow at noon!

I like -092 and -952.

Hi

For me ....092 is the best, as most of the proportions are nearly same in all three. But this one has better crown angle and pavillion angle.

Thank you for the feedback. The two stones are the ones that I am seriously considering at this point. My issue is that to my untrained, novice eye 092 appears to have more light leakage in the table compared to 952, which is a 300 dollar cheaper diamond. So, I am just a little confused . . . please help.

092 is the best. The IS is fine.
