I suppose out of the three, I would chose the last one, #3. It's the only stone with a table that is actualy SMALLER than the depth, which in all honesty is something that helps the stone have some fire, and not at the expense of brilliance. The larger tabled stones may appear larger, but they are not cut to AGA ideal standards, so I would always chose the smaller table,, hoping that the crown height would be better, but there is no way of knowing...




Have you checked for specific parameters on the PS search engine on the Home page?




There are at least 4 pages of them!




Here's one I singled out as a pretty good one: http://www.dirtcheapdiamonds.com/diamond_detail.cfm?did=2334197&ref=PS622


and here's another: http://www.dirtcheapdiamonds.com/diamond_detail.cfm?did=2334204&ref=PS622


And as BN is usually a bit pricier, this one would still be cut OK: http://www.bluenile.com/diamonds_details.asp?pid=LD00566108

Today I received a diamond. All the measurements were on the nose for Ideal. I looked at the diamond and it was hazy. No not florescent but it had a mist of small partials inside that gave it a bad look.

So, you must look at each diamond. This is only part of it.

So, I would say unless I could see the diamond I could not tell you what was the best.

Hey! But some people pick out their girlfriends from the internet also

Also my budget for the center stone is no more than $2400 and that is pushing it. All these stones are between 2000.00 and 2300.00.

What was the clarity of the stone? My guess is not good....

Honestly, I'm not in

with any of them. The first two have tables larger than the depths (although not by much), and the last stone carries its weight in the girdle and therefore won't have a good spread. Do you have the crown and pavilion info for these stones? That's the only way I'd feel comfortable making a guess as to which stone will perform the best. Also, what is the color and clarity of the side stones? What are their dimensions?
