I''ve read & researched, would like to ask for your help in picking one

[diamun]

Please help me choose an engagement diamond to help make her

. I have updated my choices from a separate post I made. She’s looking for something that sparkles the most, colorless, ideal cut, and is eye clean. I was able to convince her on an SI1 if it’s eye clean

. There’s a video of the diamond in the 2nd link which she liked. From the Gemex, the SI1 diamond in the first link may sparkle even more and cost much less

. The WF diamond in the 3rd link looks good but I was worried about the green center in the ASET image, which I think indicates that it’s less bright than the GOG diamonds with red ASET centers. Thanks in advance

Numbers, hearts, and is/asets all look good which trumps hca



close your eyes and point to one, or pull one out of a hat

Hi diamun

Have you checked with Jon that the SI diamonds are eyeclean?

hmmm, well pulling them out of a hat would mean I have to buy all 3 first, j/k. I guess they're all great

Hi Lorelei, I wanted to see if the specs/images are good and up to your standards and other Pricescopers. IF the angles,images check out good, then I'll call Jon? to check if it's eyeclean. if it is indeed eyeclean, what do you think about that SI diamond? If it's not eyeclean would the other GOG or WF diamond stand out more than the other?

 

[diamun]

just wondering if there are any other opinions

before I pull the trigger

 

[stone-cold11]

For round, IS is the sufficient. All looks good to me.

 

[swingirl]

I think they are all fabulous stones. If it were me, I''d take the least expensive because any one of those is going to be beautiful.

 

[Dreamer_D]

I''d pick the E SI1 because it is the least expensive and also because I would rather have higher color than higher clarity -- totally a mind thing because you won''t be able to tell these diamond apart, but they are all stunning so really, you can choose based on any old reasoning

The diamonds have excellent proportions and images, if the SI1 is eyeclean then I don't think you can go wrong choosing any one of them, it just comes down to personal preference and budget.
