Which Idealscope is the best

First off I would like to thank everyone here in helping me find the perfect diamond for an engagement ring, especially JulieN and diamondseeker2006.

I need help in determining which of these 3 diamonds is the best overall.

Diamond #1

Color: I
Clarity: VS1

Depth %:62.30
Girdle: Medium-Medium

Culet:NN

The concern in diamond #1 was that there could potentially be some milkyness or haze due to the fluorescence (and the attractive price). According to James Allen's gemologist, the haze is negligible, and the actual response is:


"They are all eye-clean, will appear white face-up and have very good light performance, brilliance and sparkle. In comparing them to each other, however, diamond item 200661 (1.20ct, I-color, VS1-clarity) and 117887 (1.31ct, J-color, VS2-clarity) are tied for having the best performance over all. In answering your question regarding the effect the fluorescence has on diamond item #200661, the Gemologist said the haze is negligible and the fluorescence actually makes the diamond slightly whiter in color in natural light, so that is a positive impact!"


I welcome all feedback.

Thanks in advance

I can't comment on the idealscope images but I have a GIA I/J diamond with strong blue fluor and it definitely makes it whiter with no haziness or milkyness. I don't think James Allen would steer you wrong about the haziness. The fluor is a very cool feature if you buy a black/UV light...I feel like it makes my stone just a little more unique. One of my friends now wishes her stone has fluor
Fun with fluor: [URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/look-into-my-eye-youll-be-hypnotized-sb-fluor-pics.187558/']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/look-into-my-eye-youll-be-hypnotized-sb-fluor-pics.187558/[/URL]
