Thanks Kim N, really appreciating all the help. I will take a look at these.

Just for my own education, where did I go wrong with the other three?

That 1.12 vs the GIA graded 1.25 is only a 6% difference in surface area and 0.20mm difference in diameter. Side by side you may notice the difference in tiny size, but if viewed separately it might be challenging to say which is which. My point is that if you like the way the 1.12 looks on a size 6 in proportion to the whole hand (it's important to think of the whole hand instead of just the single finger), then the 1.25 will look nearly identical.

Thanks for the comparison. I was comparing to my 0.7ct, and the difference is alot bigger to me. Might be overthinking.

The first two showed signs of an unevenly cut pavilion. And a pavilion angle of 40.6 is more complementary for a crown angle that's ≥35.5.

I'm pushing the 1.25 because of the smaller table and taller crown height along with the PA/CA pairing - you want fiery you've found it!

Thanks so much for your help DejaWiz, really appreciate your help. Trying on a 1.25ct today so will let you know what I think. Here in the UK, I tend to see closer to 1ct, definitely within my family and friend circle.

In the mean time any 1-1.05cts you can recommend?

I tried on a 1.25ct and I feel it looks too big for me.

Thanks so much for finding this for me. It is perfect. Just wanted to check you don't see any signs of blue nuance?
 
No blue nuance

Jax172 said it first and I'll gladly reinforce: no blue nuance! :)

Hi DejaWiz. Forgot to ask, do I need to get an ASET image for this diamond? When is it necessary?

Based on the video, no I don't think ASET is needed. :)
