I can't decide on what diamond I should get. I don't know much about diamonds and I need to decide on one soon. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Diamonds #1-3 $5900 w/ plat setting, Diamond #4 $5300 w/ plat setting. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

One rule of thumb is that table should not be bigger than the diamond is deep. Another: keep away from crowns les than 8 or better 10% deep. These being said, the front page of pricescope contains some numerical giudelines about princess cuts (table, two links away under the 'fancy shapes' link). Aside that, I personally hate that great depth of princess cuts which makes one burry money in a part of the stone which is never seen. From this point of view, stone #4 is a hero. I also suspect that, given how infrequent princess cuts with such good depth are, the first above mentioned rule could be loosened for this one (very much worth seeing).

However, what strykes me is the VVS part: I can't refrain from jotting once more that, unless you prefer them for some other reason besides diamond clarity, these grades are indistiguishable from VS and that much more expensive (or the stones that much smaller for same cost). Anyway, no complaints about this line-up of top stones! Some simmilar note would go for the color: you are paying for something you ain't going to see (as in G near F, as a previous post discusses in scientific depth).

Hope this helps
