Seeking opinion on Ritani diamond

[diamond5673]

Hello everyone,

I am new here and I have learned a substantial amount by reading through hundreds of your posts! I thank you so much for the knowledge that I have gained! I will be purchasing a setting through Ritani, and therefore was hoping to purchase the center diamond from either Ritani or WF.

My budget is around $3,300.00 for the center diamond
Round brilliant
Excellent cut
H color
SI-1
.80-.85ct

I came across this diamond and felt that it met all of my needs, except for the size. I love the brilliance, but I feel as though I might be able to find a larger stone with the similar specifications, for a similar price. It does, however, appear to measure more closely to a .80ct. If not, or if the difference in size would not be worth the price hike, I believe I have found "the one!"

(I currently have it reserved)

Thank you for your time!

Because of not being able to access an idealscope image, I really would almost always prefer buying from Whiteflash if you can stretch a couple or few hundred dollars and get AGS Ideal cut at .80 cts.

Ritani rings are such nice quality! I really like what you have chosen!

Re: Seeking opinion on Ritani/WF diamonds

Well those WF diamonds opened my eyes a bit! I now have the following three diamonds that I feel are relatively close contenders:

1-http://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-3326172.htm
(On reserve) (Can hopefully get the cost cut down a little bit as they with the diamond below) (1.3 HCA---Ex, Ex, Ex, V. Good)

2-http://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-3142196.htm
(WF offered me this diamond along with my setting for $5,100) (2.1 HCA--- V. Good, V. Good, V. Good, V. Good)

3-https://www.ritani.com/diamonds/round-diamond-0-77-Carat-H-color-GIA-certified/D-92F73Q?search_key=D-92F73Q
(Total cost with setting = $4,914.00) (1.7 HCA-- V. Good, Ex, Ex, V. Good) (Ritani offers the Scintillation Report along with the GIA certificate)

What do you think of these three options? Does one seem to have an obvious benefit that I am not looking at? Thanks again!
