Looking for help in choosing a stone

[alicepie]

Hello All,

I found pricescope a few months ago when I started thinking about proposing to my gf and now I'm trying decide on a diamond. I think pricescope is great because I was able to learn a lot from the site and from reading everyone's posts. However, I still need help choosing the best stone for my budget and specs. If anyone can help me with this, I'd really appreciate it!

I'm looking for a stone to go with this setting:
http://www.whiteflash.com/engagement-rings/three-stone/butterflies-3-stone-engagement-ring-1289.htm

I have a 9k budget and am looking for a diamond with the following specs:
super ideal cut
1.2ct
vs1-vs2
color G-H

Here are a few stones that I found on whiteflash:

If anyone can help with choosing between these stones and even finding a better one, that would be truly helpful!

Thanks in advance!

The problem with virtual selections is that they aren't in-house: the vendor must call them in for further examination, sometimes takes some time to even get the cert. They can be a nice way to save a little over the in-house branded stones, but if you don't hit the jackpot in the first couple of tries any savings would be quickly lost in the shipping expenses.. it's a gamble.

In any case, need more info for those two stones before can give any basic evaluation - would remove the one w/ the 63 table - too large for me personally.

The ESs and first ACA look nice, request hearts and IS for the other.

Thanks for the quick reply!

I'm leaning towards this one:

I'm not very familiar with proportions of diamonds. Should I be concerned with any of the specs on this stone?

Thanks in advance!
