Hello everyone!
First time poster here.. As a clueless guy looking to buy an engagement ring, have been trying to find out as much as I can about the criteria for buying a diamond.
After numerous articles on GIA, HCA, etc, I've narrowed my choices down to these 3 round brilliant diamonds
(Color F, Clarity VS2, Triple Excellent GIA with Zero fluorescence):
GIA 2194888033
1.00 Carat
Measurements 6.50 - 6.54 x 3.89 mm
Crown Angle: 32.0 DEG
Pavilion Angle: 41.0 DEG
Culet: Very Small (is this a deal breaker compared to "None"?)
HCA 0.8
GIA 2175080037
1.00 carat
Measurements 6.37 - 6.40 x 4.00 mm
Crown Angle: 35.0 DEG
Pavilion Angle: 40.8 DEG
Culet: None
HCA 1.7
GIA 1189095478
0.98 carat
Measurements 6.29 - 6.33 x 3.94 mm
Crown Angle: 36.0 DEG
Pavilion Angle: 40.6 DEG
Culet: None
HCA 1.9
Very much appreciate any thoughts/input on how to differentiate between the above in terms of quality. Many thanks for any helpful responses!!
