seek suggestions about 0.5 carat stone

[Justnow]

I am looking for a 0.5 Carat diamond and it''s really a tedious and bothering process to search online.
Eventually, I decide to choose between them, could you give me some suggetions?

Thanks,

Hi and welcome to PS

Not loving the depth on either of them.

I''d drop the color a little bit to gain a slightly better cut. This stone is a bit deeper; it wouldn''t look as big as its weight, and it likely will leak light through the bottom.

Hi JustNow,

Welcome to PS! The two stones you chose are probably very pretty but they''re also rather deep.

If deemed eye-clean, how about this one?

Welcome to PS

Not liking the depth here on either of them and there really isn''t enough info to judge cut quality, the crown and pavillion angles are important to help assess optical performance. Does the vendor have a Sarin report or Idealscope image with these? If buying online, there is a lot you need to learn and research plus sifting through potential diamonds and eliminating - like a puzzle where you need to try to put the pieces together. Best advice is to make cut your top priority, this is what makes a diamond beautiful and is absolutely crucial. You can use the search tool above, enter your criteria then hit cut quality search and this will make your choice easier. There can be a lot of work involved in buying a beautiful diamond, but as diamonds are an expensive purchase it is well worth the time spent to get it right and something you wish you had done when you buy a diamond you aren''t completely happy with. If you look at the knowledge section you will see the tutorials which will give you the info you need, plus we will help you along the way if you would like. Hope this helps.
