Which diamond?

[sparkymark75]

I''m new to this diamond hunting so bear with me. I''ve narrowed it down to 3 diamonds that are in my price range. Can anyone tell me which of the three are the "best"?

I think I''ve got the hang of the clarity, colour, etc but I''m not sure about the table and depth, is bigger better, etc?

Performance and tastes equal, I would choose the G VS2 for being the cheapest $/mm^2 and it''s the biggest. But size and $/size is related, so let me try to think it out:

If you have 3 stones and they are all the same size, you would choose the cheapest $/mm^2.

If you have 3 stones and they cost the same $/mm^2, you would choose the biggest.

So does it seem win-win to you?

Thanks JulieN. Is this the best I can hope to get for that amount of money?

WF has some .57 G SI1s, or something like that.

If you want more carat weight, I think you could move to I color, put you in the .65+ range.

The diamond''s going to be set in platinum so I believe it''s better to go for a good colour?

You certainly could go to H if not I. But G is very nice, no doubt.

I would get the E!
