This is my first diamond purchase, so any help would be very appreciated. I''m planning to set this stone in a pendant -- either a three-stone prong set (like Slammy''s, I think) or the most delicate bezel set I can find.

I thought I read enough on here to know what I am doing, but when I really start looking, I realize that I don''t. Any guidance as to how these diamonds will differ in their appearance? Thanks so much.

the mondera diamonds don''t have enough info (crown/pavilion angles) to make a comparable decision.
 
Oooh, I gotcha. Thanks.
 
I like #1 also.
 
another vote for #1..nix #4 since the depth is too high.

personally for a pendant i would not pay for VS..its a perfect opp to go for an eye-clean SI since people are usually not close to your neck to see anything even if it is there. so i would go for an I SI. or even a J SI.
