What do you think?

[scm1012]

Hello all...I''ve been a lurker for some time and this is my first post ever!!

Would you please help me out in comparing the following diamonds and share with me your opinion on which one you might find to be better and why?

After all this time reading the boards, I have limited knowledge but I am still trying to get all of the diamond lingo down.

Just some extra info, all 4 stones are J in color, which I prefer. Plus, all I really want is a 1 carat...maybe a little over.


Thanks in advance!!!!

I''m sorry...what do you mean?

All of them are excellent choices, you can't go wrong with any of them. If I could, I'd take them all!

ETA
The difference between them are so very slight that it really isn't noticeable - you are just splitting hair.

The cut specs on all of these are great! Assuming it''s in the budget, I''d go with the 1.25 since it will face up the largest of all of them. Also, you could have WF eyeball them and give you their opinion of the stones. I would trust their opinion.

kcoursolle- Thanks for your words!

BTW, I adore your ring! I actually printed a picture of it to put in my wishbook awhile back. It''s gorgeous...but I''m sure you know that already

I compared the 1.23 and the 1.25. The 1.25 IS looks just as nice as the other, and it''s 700.00 less. So that would be my pick!
