I am looking at a few diamonds that range in size from 1.8,1.9 and 2 carat diamond. The dimensions are as follows: 7.82-7.85X4.83,7.85-7.88X4.91, and 7.97-8.04X5.04.
Will there be a visual difference between the three diamonds? Based on my research it doesnt appear like there will be that significant of a difference but I am not 100% sure.
Any input would be helpful. Thanks
 
Here is a comparison. And in real life I'm sure it's even less noticeable once set.

7.89x7.97x4.88 - 1.886 ct
8.03-8.04X4.95 - 1.968 ct
8.10-8.13X4.98 - 2.014 ct
8.09-8.12x4.97 - 2.023 ct

Thank you. The pictures help verify my initial thought. I am upgrading from a 1.5 and just wanted to be I would not be dissappointed if I go slightly below two carat. The quality of the smaller diamonds are slightly better. I realize this will not be a visual difference but it matters to me. thanks again for everyone that has helped me along the way!!!!
 
That is a great image! The first two stones you list are close enough to be a pair for studs. But the third one will have a slightly larger appearance. It is a great value to find a stone in the 1.9 ct range. That third stone must be slightly on the deep side as I like to see a 2 ct with a diameter of 8.1mm like the ones in the picture. If I am paying for 2 cts, I definitely want it to have a good diameter.
