We really need ALL the info from the certs in order to help you. All the angles, everything.

ETA: You also need to ask your vendor of all of these stones are eyeclean and what kind of inclusions there are and WHERE.

I just sent an email asking. These diamonds are from USA Certed Diamonds, how is their reputation????

if these are all ags stones with ''0'' grade in light performance, it would be a toss up.
the 1.58 is facing up as big as the 1.76, so i''d probably nix that one so you aren''t paying for the extra carat weight.

So nix the 1.76??? These are not the only three diamonds I am going to consider anyway, I just need a starting point. If I get an AGS 0 diamond is it safe to get a SI 1 F-G color and it still be absolutly beautiful, how about SI 2?

I always thought SI was not that great to get, but everyone on here is saying that an AGS 0 Princess is so sparkly that I don''t have to have a VS for it to be beautiful. Especially since I want to get a 1.5-2.0 carat stone. Seems like I am going to have to go lower than 2.0 if my budget max is 10,000 and I want the AGS.

SI1 is perfectly fine especially in a stone as busy as a princess. SI2 can even be fine but it is much harder to find one that is eyeclean. Princesses show color more than rounds, but even then a G is VERY safe for color.

if it is on par cut wise with the others, i would. it has basically the same dimensions as the 1.58. why pay for more carat weight when you aren''t gaining anything in face up size?

i think it''s very safe. i would have someone actually look at the diamond and let you know exactly where the inclusions can be seen in person but colorwise, f-g is extremely safe.
a good friend of mine has an ags0 princess that is ''j'' color and it looks fantastic.

color and clarity used to be the only tangible criteria that diamond quality could be judged on, so many people believe that they are what makes a diamond beautiful but that is not the case. cut quality is most important! so yes, you can have a diamond with lower color/clarity and it will still be beautiful and sparkly.
love that sparkle of a well cut diamond!
