Going by the specs I'll take #2.
 
Thanks! Any reason for recommending #2?
Also just wondering why HCA scores 0-1 is not best for ring? #2 has HCA 1.4 the others are 0.9 to 1.

Thanks!
 
#2 has the best inclusion plot + nice proportions.
HCA any score under 2.0 means EXCELLENT light return.

I'd prefer a stone with a smaller table + a high crown...that just me. A lower HCA score does not mean the stone will look better. Any score < 2 is fine.
 
Of #1 and 2, I prefer the light return of #1, but the proportions of #2. I would eliminate #3. I like the inclusion plot on #4 and it has good propotions. Can you get an ASET or IS for #4?

If I had to decide based only on the certs, I'd also choose #2 as I know that I prefer those proportions in person over #1 and I'd take that minor loss of performance. With an ASET or IS, #4 might be in the running.

Also looking for opinions on the following 2. They are around $7500... $800-$1000 cheaper than #2 and #4. Does #2 or #4 worth the extra money?

Thanks!


#5

Thanks! Is there any other JA stone you would recommend? Budget 8K.
 
Stick with the H VS2. #2 was a good one!
 
If #5 is less than #2, then it is also a good choice. Otherwise, stick with #2. I don't like the clarity plot on #6 given your other choices.
