POH (or Ideal square) vs these from JA???

[Wieke]

Hi, I was wondering - is there any important difference (apart from the price tag) between these radiant stones from JA and the ex-Princess of Hearts (on now Ideal Square diamonds) that for example GOG is carrying? Would they be a good choice or is there a reason to stick to GOG in this case:

Example GOG:

JA:

http://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/radiant-cut/1.65-carat-g-color-vs2-clarity-sku-368825
http://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/radiant-cut/1.53-carat-f-color-si1-clarity-sku-368823
http://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/radiant-cut/1.50-carat-g-color-vs2-clarity-sku-368836

Also, what should I pay attention to? The last one for example seems to my novice eyes a bit mushy... Is that the case? How about the different girdle thickness between them? Which one would you pick from these 5?

Since JA has such a good selection, I personally see no reason to stick with GOG (all though I really like GOG).

What is your priority...cost, size, color, clarity?

You can request asets on 3 of them.

Its just what you said now - if there is no real difference then I just would go for the best combo... so if GOG has a G SI1 but I can get for the same price a F VS2 in similar size then why not take that? I just thought since it is a branded cut there is sime difference. The question is also on upgrade/buy back policies etc. I like GOG too
