Please help me choose the best one of these three diamonds?

[niina]

Cut, Polish, Symmetry Excellent in all of these three. Also Fluorescence none.

Number 1 : 1.41ct / SI1 / G





Table 56%
Depth 61.6%
Crown 34.5%
Pavillion 40.6%
Medium-slightly thick (faceted) 3.5%

Light Return Excellent
Fire Excellent
Scintillation Excellent
Spread Very Good
HCA 0.7

Confirmed as eye-clean.

-HCA score is the best of these three but the heart&arrow -pattern is not the best one, maybe worst. Is it bad? Will it effect the brightness of the diamond a lot?


Number 2 : 1.42ct / SI1 / H





Table 57%
Depth 61.4%
Crown 34.5%
Pavillion 40.8%
Medium-slightly thick (faceted) 4%

Light Return Excellent
Fire Excellent
Scintillation Excellent
Spread Very Good
HCA 1.3

-It seems to have better "pattern" in this one, but I am not an expert here...
-Maybe the photo in this option is quite bad quality, but the diamond seems to me everything but bright?

Number 3 : 1.42 / VS2 / H







Table 57%
Depth 61.8%
Crown 35%
Pavillion 40.8%
Medium-slightly thick (faceted) 3.5%

Light Return Excellent
Fire Excellent
Scintillation Excellent
Spread Very Good
-HCA 1.7

-This one is BN Sig Ideal, that is why there is more information available.
-Also around +1500€ ($1600 extra) compared to number 1 and 2. Worth it?

I want to thank you alot already for help and comments. It is so hard to find a right one with right measurements and price...

Number 2 would be my choice if it is eye-clean which I cant really tell from that photo.

Number 3 would also be a good choice but at $1600 more I would take number 2 (as long as eye-clean).

Number 1 is well cut but it has a big inclusion right off the edge of the table which might not be eye-clean.

I agree, I'd probably choose in this order. #2 would have to be eyeclean from the top and sides. Be sure to ask that. I prefer VS2 clarity, personally, but I think $1600 more sounds like a lot! Do you mind telling us the prices? Those numbers are usually part of the decision making process, too!

Thanks for the answers
I try to find out if these are eyeclean on top and side.

Number 1 : $11 204.59

Number 2: $11 037.87

Number 3 : around $12 671.47 - funny, I can not find the diamond anymore

Wait, hold the horses...you're up in the Branded Super Ideal price range. These are ACA AGS000 Hearts and Arrows cut to very strict
standards. They will be much nicer than what you have posted.

I know.. I have been looking for those ones, but unfortunately I have to pay taxes (around + 25% !!) if the diamond is outside EU.
So I thought that maybe it is best to try to find as good as possible inside EU?

With the tax savings, buy a ticket to the US and enjoy a vacation while picking up your diamond!

Gottcha...stinks that nice diamonds are so expensive in the EU.

Totally agree

Does it matter to have medium to slightly thick faceted and 3,5% or 4%? Which one is better?

Re: Please help me choose the best one of these three diamon

I was also wondering the bright white/blue spot in the number 2 diamond center... what is the reason for that and will it affect someway?
