Thoughts between these 3 diamonds?

[Kenneth Chan]

Hi All,

I am currently debating between the following three diamonds.

These all have similar specs but I'm wondering if any one of these will outperform the rest?

Thank you for any inputs.

Thank you for any inputs.

I* can only see 1 diamond link, and nothing is going to outperform it; it's an AGS 000 ACA.
The ONLY diamond that can ligitimately compete is an AGS 000 ACA with higher Ct weight, higher color grade, or better clarity. This Cut is superior to any GIA XXX MRB, from what I've* learned.
It's gorgeous from the video, and looks magnificent on paper!!
Good luck with your search!

I thought the compare function would show the 3 diamonds I am considering.

Below are the pages for the individual diamonds, hope it works now.

Of the 3, this is my* winner:
https://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-3802916.htm
Reasons: all 3 are same Ct weight, color, and Clarity, with AGS000 ACA Certification.
One glaring factor: this stone only has a slight, barely detectable inclusion on the table, near the perimeter of the stone, and the other two have very noticeable inclusions in the center of the table that would literally drive me* crazy.
This stone is the most eye-clean, with amazing performance (as do the others, but their inclusions are just located in bad positions).
This is my non-expert opinion, and I'm sticking to it...lol!
Very beautiful choices, I might add!!

a: the grading lab doesn't have anything to do with how the diamond actually performs that is determined by cut but can be modified by other factors.
b: An AGS Platinum report is one way to market/document well cut diamonds but not the only one. The AGS standards are good but not perfect.
c: keep a vendors feet to the fire and make them prove it is "better".

Why is an ACA a well cut stone? What draws you to that conclusion?
Being in the trade I can not answer that.

Edit: To the original poster, sorry for the side bar here. Don't take this to mean that I think there is anything wrong with the diamonds in question.

Thank you for any inputs.

Given that all three have similar, very good, light performance I would personally pick the one that has the extra tenth in width.

@Karl_K you working on a new, better, MRB? If so, looking forward to it.

All three stones are VS1 clarity. Doubtful that you would see any of the inclusions with the naked eye.

I agree on the inclusions, it is unlikely that you will be able to notice anything with your naked eye. The same I find true for most VS2 inclusions and many SI1 as well, but that is another topic.
From the 3 you have selected, I like this one the most because of its spread (7.97mm litter diameter) and chubbier arrows:https://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-3753619.htm

However, if I was shopping for a colorless diamond at WF, I would go with something like this: https://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-3802920.htm
I doubt that you will be able to notice the difference between the E and the F. But if you have to/want to stick to E color, then that third one is my pick.

no no nothing like that.
There isn't much(if any) room for improvement over the top stones already on the market.
While im not about to start telling consumers how to post, I was thinking like a newbie and if someone was telling me something was the best I would like to know a little about why the person thought it was the best. It doesn't have to be super technical.
