My brother has graciously offered to go look at diamonds for me at the JamesAllen office in NY. I can only select 3. Please help me narrow it down. I have 4 selected and need to remove 1. I had a budget of $15,000 but... (all prices reflect the pricescope and bankwire discount).

I think this one may be my best bet. I've already been told it is naked eye-clean and "magnificent".

I lilke that this one is F in color, not as good a cut, concerned it isn't eye clean or sparkly. Picture looks cloudy.

Over my budget. :( Not sure it's eye-clean and the picture looks cloudy. But great stats!

Resembles my current stone I'm trying to replace. Not the best cut. Pic looks like it will be naked eye-clean. Barely over budget.

Thoughts?

I will throw out 2 and 4. Too shallow crown with thin girdle, 2 is v/thin, more prone to chipping. 4 looks like it has significant obstruction issue.

Ask for idealscope images for the rest.

When I clicked on all of four of those stones, I noticed that it said (only at the very, very top of the screen) that they were not available, although the page still listed the pricing info and everything else. Are you sure those stones are still available?
