Which one do you think is the best? I’d love an F color as I want a very white diamond I would like to stay in the $10.5-11.5 range & around 1.3 carat.. of course I’d like bigger but ‍♀️

Also, I don’t really need ACA it would be nice, but for me an Expert Selection would be fine too. I like quality but don’t need to go overboard, money is a little tight with 2 kids in college so I’m trying to be a bit modest.

I hope the links work. Thank you for taking the time.

As long as it’s eye clean, I would go with #1

I actually like the two Premium Select stones best. I like that they are VS2 and cut looks great. I love the 1.32 G VS2 but the 1.4 H VS2 will be a little larger in appearance. So I think that decision would be whether you value the higher color or greater size more.

I actually started out wanting the 1.4 H but then went to the G because I was worried about the H having a yellow tint. I then started looking at F and now I’m completely off track lol!

Do you know how color sensitive you are??

ETA- I picked the F due to the angles but also the color.

It's important to keep in mind that face up size is almost identical between these stones. The only one that *might* look bigger is the 1.4, and even then you will have a tough time seeing any difference unless they are side by side. Keeping that in mind, I would likely go for the least expensive option (if price is a concern), or the highest color (if color is a concern). But I wouldn't worry about size.

I’m very color sensitive do not want any yellow at all.

I love the F I’m wondering why you like those angles?

I prefer the LGF to be 76.

The G was 75, but the arrows don’t look particularly fat, so who knows if GIA rounding comes into play. The table is on the larger side of the ideal range, but other than that this would be my second pick.

One H has 76, but I’m color sensitive and can see color in a GIA H, so I wouldn’t go with that one if I wanted a “white” stone.
