Hello! Newbie here!

I've narrowed it down to these 3 diamonds at James Allen.com. They are all beautiful!! But only one gets to come home. I am fairly new to this online buying deal and I want to get this right. The first one is in the 7K range...and the bottom two are in The 8K range. Is there something I'm missing? It is higher in carats and its VVS2 the others are lower. Help me understand.

Also, I found the same scenario on blue Nile but there are no pictures to help my decision. They have a 1.33 carats fancy yellow VVS2 for 7K, why are the others so much? Thank you for your hel!

it's most likely due to the color intensity.

The last one at least is fancy intense. The other two in the info you posted doesn't state the intensity. That is what makes an FCD cost more.
 
What Davi said! Color is king in colored diamonds, sometimes even more so than color in the rest of the colored stone world.
