My friend had suspended the search do to COVID but has now decided to pop the question over the holidays. He wants to buy from JA and there is a Black Friday sale on settings. Doing the search here I narrowed it Down to the below. Can you experts advise on which ones look the best. Or suggest other JA stones? Budget is 5-5.8K. XXX GIA and up to H. He is looking for a carat or slightly below.

Can you attach the GIA reports? Is there a reason your friend wants VVS1 or IF? In this size, my preference is VS1-VS2 to save money or increase size, and it would likely look no different from VVS1/IF.

The 1st .90 with the ID# 9997396 is the prettiest one. Too many stones to critique each and JA doesn’t post lab reports but I can speak from table reflection alone. Also, as mentioned, it makes no sense to get something internally flawless yet not colorless.

Hello,

i just did a search from VS1 upwards And those were some of the results. I’m sure he would prefer a stone closer to 5k in VS1. Are any of the below worth options. To not take up much of your time what should I look for besides the 4 C’s while searching?

Understood. I just limited my search to VS1 and found the 3 stones below. Any one worth requesting lab reports for?

You have to get the GIA reports from JA. No one can answer your questions without more info.

They both do well on the HCA. Can you ask for Ideal-Scope images?

This one has a rather big black inclusion on the table. Might be eye-clean...might not be depending on your eye-sight and if you're looking for it.
