I prefer the 3rd one.
Be sure it''s eye clean !
For the first one, you didn''t give us C and P angle.
You should ask idealscope pictures for those diamonds.

Hi Kate:

Like Stephan, without seeing anything else I like the 3rd choice.

It is not as deep as stone 2 and and faces up a little larger for a stone which weighs the same and has no flour. It also has a smaller table than choice (1) or (2) with a cherry set of crown and pavilion angles.

Don''t shop by the numbers alone, but my first choice would be to take a look at stone 3.

I would eliminate #2 -- too steep and deep. I like the numbers on #3, so I would ask for pics. I would ask for a sarin report on #1 to know whether to consider it or not. (You need crown and pavilion details.) From what you''ve listed, it has good potential, and is the largest, diameter-wise.

I agree with Josh. #3 would easily get my choice over the others if this is all the info you''ve garnered.

 

[JC]

Well, I guess that I''ll chime in to.....#3 it is.

 

[phoenixgirl]

Yes, #2 is not a contender.

#1 has the biggest spread, and could be good, but its cut is an unknown without the crown and pavilion angles.

If you can''t get more info on #1, I would definitely go with #3 . . . better color, 1.1 on the HCA (excellent cut), and a nice price.

#3 ,i like the small table 54% with the high 16% crown. just my 2 cents.
