Hi All,

I've narrowed my choices down to three diamonds. All of them are round solatire diamonds. Option 2 is a Forevermark diamond and Option 1 & 3 Tiffany (side note I am okay with paying the markup Tiffany, as prefer the setting of the ring). I am leaning more towards Option 1 (Tiffany - 0.94 carat) and Option 2 (Forevermark - 1.13 carat) as they are close in price, Option 3 is about 3K more.

Now there is quite a big size difference between Option 1 & 2 (0.19 carats). My only worry about option 2, is that it has a pretty big table value (60.9%). I have seen option 2 in person and it is very nice diamond, sparkles very nicely (even in shaded areas and in window light), and has hearts & arrows. I haven't seen the two Tiffany diamonds yet, as they are being transported to the store. I should be able to see them by this Thursday and hopefully have photos of them.

Therefore, just from the numbers below which diamond would you pick?

Option 1:
0.94 carat
F
VVS2
6.27-6.30 x 3.87
Depth: 61.60%
Table:56.00%
Table Angle: 34.9
Pavilion Angle: 40.8
HCA Score: 1.5

Option 2:
1.13 carat
G
VS2
6.7-6.73 x 4.05
Depth: 60.30%
Table: 60.90%
Table Angle:33.5
Pavilion Angle: 41
HCA Score: 2.0

Option 3:
1.01 Carat
G
VS1
6.42-6.43 x 3.98
Depth: 62.00%
Table: 57.00%
Table Angle: 35.3
Pavilion Angle: 40.6
HCA Score: 1.2
 
just going by the numbers I like option #3

for me a f, VVS2 stone is nice if you need it but I prefer the larger size of #3 and a "g" is plenty white for my color preference.

also don't only look a ct weight but also the mm size.

stone #2 looks as if it a 60 60 diamond and bz you saw it in person and if you like it go for it.
