Not in person but I've seen pictures online and I'm ok with it.

Of these, I like #2 the best. It has the best overall balance of angles. I also like the overall color/body color. But, having looked at the IS on JA -- its a bit more variation under the table than I like to see.

Since JA will generally give you up to 3 IS images, I would put #2 on hold and request the following 3 IS images. JA will give you 100% of cost of diamond toward uprade, but you must double cost of next stone.

If you want to gain size, buy dropping to an L, I like this better than the one you selected.

Super-ideal from WF {both less than the one's you posted, so look at cost}. WF offers 100% of cost of diamond to upgrade of a more expensive diamond.

Antique diamond. Gorgeous color and faceting. 7.45 mm, so larger than most you posted. Click on the video tab to see her lovely pattern.

Wow lots to think about thank you! I'll have to give WF a second try! I just didn't like how a lot of their diamnds dont have actual images and their videos are way too flashy to see any details in the 360 view...But I will have a look! And also that vintage cut is amazing wow! Does it shine as much as the hearts and arrows though?
