These are all great choices....i would probley wait around for the 3rd idealscope to choose. Since the 3rd biggest i''d probley go with that if it was as nice as #1 bc that would be my pick as of right now

Are you sure the 3rd stone is a H&A? I don''t think WF will tell you if a stone is H&A in their ES stones. It could be as most likely it is drop to ES for have MB fluor but do not assume. Just in case you are really set on a H&A stone.

The third stone is a JA H&A...

Just so you know, JA is known for being a little more lenient with their H&A terms. If the prices are similar per carat I would go with 1 or 2, they are fabulous choices. If #3 is significantly cheaper (or the same price because it IS bigger) I would wait until you see the IS image.

Agreed

Thank you Mrs. W, Stone Cold and Neatfreak...

When the IS image for #3 comes in I''ll post it...

#3 is not significantly cheaper... these three are approximately the same $$.

is the medium blue fluorescence cause for concern with #3?

Absolutely not, medium blue fluoro should be fine and not have any adverse effects, in fact many here consider it to be an added bonus to their diamonds.

I also wanted to throw this 1.5 H VS 1, GIA ex/ex/ex into the mix...
