Both the WF and the GoG stone are supposedly 100% eye-clean. I'm not sure about the BG yet since they said they are waiting to receive it from AGS...

Hey atropis!

Those all look really good... I like the GOG's percentages a little better and it's the least expensive of the three. :))
 
They are all gorgeous so I would go with the biggest.
 
I agree, they all look gorgeous! To help narrow down some, I might ask BGD and WF if the I-color of those two diamonds are "high" or "low" - but otherwise I would probably just go with the vendor who had the setting I wanted.

That is a very nice SI1 stone + one color grade higher... :love: ...but I love the specs on the BGD stone... :love:
 
thanks everybody for the feedback. i think i'm actually gonna to with the WF one. my gf really wants to stay .8 and above, i also dont even know if the BGD is eye-clean yet and is more expensive. another factor is WF's upgrade policy is much better than BG, BG requires you to maintain 2 out of 3 specs (within carat, clarity, color) when you upgrade, which is kind of turnoff. if i upgrade down the line i'm def gonna want not only bigger but also a more colorless color and probably in the VS range... also, the customer service at WF is amazing and i just grt a great vibe from them. lastly, i'd have to pay tax sith GOG which is a pain.

Great choice!

I read the BG upgrade policy as having to upgrade at least 2 specs, not having to maintain them. Did you check with them to make sure?
 
oh wow, you're right, i read it wrong. i'm an idiot tho, i was just about to reconsider the .846 BG but someone snagged it 45 min ago! i prob shouldnt have posted it on here haha

Look at it this way: that person just saved you $250
 
haha that's true... it was you wasn't it!!! 1/2jk

the only thing I'm a little hesitant on with the WF .8 I SI1 are the imperfections right under the table. Supposedly the stone is 100% eye-clean, and I was told that there's a reason that it's an SI1 and not an SI2, but it still looks a little odd to my uneducated/inexperienced eyes. Check it out, would this concern anyone?:

You caught me! Ha, I can only afford one diamond right now and I've already got it. Though if I could get another, it likely would be one of these three...

This might be a case where a cloud ever so slightly affects light performance. The picture shows that the upper left and lower right arrow shafts have a bit of haze to them. Usually, this would just look like a photo reflection, but I think this is the cloud inclusion. I'll have to defer to someone with more real life experience with SI1 clouds.
 
that's what i was thinking! anyone think i should be worried about this?
