Among those, I prefer the third one. But if you're open to another vendor and this fits in your budget, Whiteflash has superior cut diamonds and a much more generous upgrade policy.

I was told the crystals on the table are clear and will not be seen? Is it true?

That will depend on your eyesight and how closely you'll be looking at the diamond in regular viewing. The fact that the crystals are clear and not black is very promising, though.

Ditto...the first two, No. The 3rd one, maybe, but may not be eye-clean. That crystal on the table may be visible if you have
decent eye-sight. Ask JA if it's an issue.

Hello and welcome to PriceScope, WenZ!

Quick question: are you likely to ever upgrade the diamond in the future?
If the answer if maybe or yes, then I recommend that you spend the little extra now for a Whiteflash in-stock diamond since their upgrade program has only one stipulation: the diamond being upgraded to must be of equal or higher value than the one being traded in.
... depending on the setting that you choose, they also give you 50% trade value for that.
JA requires at least twice the price for the diamond upgrade and no credit for the setting.

Thank you everyone! I spoke with a few associates at JA and they confirmed the crystals on the table of the third diamond appear clear and should not be seen with naked eye. The HCA of this diamond is 1.5 (excellent in all except spread VG). I also added the ideal scope of this diamond.

I am now debating between the third diamond with another one I just found. I VS2 triple ex medium fluorescence, HCA 0.8. cost $210 USD more.

1.02 Carat round diamond

Please advise which one I should go for.

Thank you!

Thank you!

The I VS2 looks cleaner under the table, so it would be my pick. What are you leaning towards?
