I''m looking for a diamond along the parameters outlined by the choices below. I have read that some of the H&A''s appear rather dark under certain conditions, would like one on the lighter side.
Would like one that exhibits many flashes of color while also being bright.

I realize these are all good quality diamonds, as I have learned in my research, but I am also new at this and realize there is much more than the basics I have learned.

What are the different characteristics displayed by these diamonds.

Any other suggestions?

Ditto! You could lower your clarity to VS or lower and still have a very clean diamond, but this is of course a personal preference and only a suggestion! What I would do is to ask Brian Gavin to look at your selections and discuss them with you, this will give you an idea of the personality of each.

Thritto.

I also agree that you could lower the clarity a tad. This would allow you to get a larger diamond, which is always a plus, while still having a very clean diamond. Win/win!

Since you asked for other suggestions, I looked at WF, and came up with this one. Also, if you lowered the clarity to SI1, it might get you some more size. There are many out there that are totally eyeclean.

Anyway, this one is just a thought, all the others you picked out are certainly winners too!
