Hello Everyone,
I am having trouble selecting the right diamond for my fiance. I know I want a GIA Certified Round Brilliant Diamond in a 1 carat, F color, VS2 clarity with the maximum brilliance, shine, fire, and sparkle. Any help and feedbacks would be greatly appreciated. Sorry if I am asking too many questions. Thanks a Lot!

1) Which of the above diamond has the best appearance, brilliance, shine, fire, and sparkle? and Why?
2) Is cut grade/polish/symmetry or a diamond's proportions (depth, table, crown, pavilion etc.) more critical in determining a diamond's appearance, brilliance, shine, fire, and sparkle? and Why?
3) Which of the above diamond is the best for its price and why?
4) Does the prices above seems reasonable? If not, what would be reasonable for a 1 carat, F color, VS2 Clarity Round Diamond?
