Hello! I would appreciate opinions anyone has on the following princess cut diamonds below. I am in the process of searching for an engagement ring and would love any help from all you experts out there.
Criteria:
princess cut
Carat: approx 2cts
Color: E or better
Cut: Ideal or better
Clarity: VS1 or better
I came across the following 3 and they are meet all characteristics above (in fact they are practically all the same) but the prices are very dramatic. I understand that other factors determine the quality of the diamond (table %, depth %, etc.) but I am not sure how to evaluate these. Could someone help? Also, if I were to go to the diamond district and brought this criteria is it possible to get either a better deal or a better diamond compared to these internet websites? Thanks so much for any help.

this is a "signature ideal" diamond (2.01ct, E, VS1, Blue Nile Signature ideal cut). at 23k, this is the highest priced diamond out of the 3. Is it really worth it?

from whiteflash and at 21k it is cheaper than bluenile. (2.0 ct, E, VS1, "Expert Selection" cut from whiteflash). priced at 21k it is cheaper than bluenile. Any reason for the price difference even though the "C"''s are all the same

the cheapest of the 3 but the stats are still comparable (2.01ct, E, VS1, Ideal cut). at 18k this is MUCH cheaper than the other two. I can''t figure out why....
