Comments on the following stones?

[soccerfreak]

I''m looking at the following stones and would like some input on which looks better. I''m debating whether I should move away from the I color. Your thoughts?

i have a 1.22 g/si ering and .60 studs that j/si. they all look perfectly white. i would definitely consider an ''i'' color.

that said, i''m partial to the 1.22 you have there~!

I don''t know if it is the pic or my eyes or what, but the IS on the James Allen stone does not appear symmetrical in the table area.

I''m sympathetic to the WF H VS1.

I would get one of the WF ones . . . personally I''d get the H color but if the ACA branding is important to you then the I color one also looks good.

Color is a very personal thing - some are very color sensitive and prefer colorless stones, others love the warmth of ''lower'' colors even Ls and Ms. I have seen a couple of beautiful M''s. Many people cannot even see color in stones that are supposed to have color (it definitely helps if the stone is well cut, and of course if it is facing up) It would be a really good idea for you to go to a store that carries AGS or GIA graded stones to see how color sensitive you are, and what colors you prefer. As far as the ones you posted, I prefer the 1.2 Whiteflash H. The JA vvs1 seems like clarity overkill to me personally and may possibly be perceived as visually slightly smaller (diameter wise - although very slight if at all) than the other two. With regards to the WF ones, I prefer the IS on the H.
