Need help choosing diamond

[kabenton]

I like 6864.

Thank you.
And last question, I promise
What do you think of this one vs the 6864? I initially didn’t want to go lower than G as I am pretty color sensitive but maybe H isn’t too bad. The proportions look good to me based off what I’m learning from you all.

Keep them coming - the more diamonds that you have to pick from, the better the outcome will be!
I think it looks a bit grainy and hazy in the video, but it's inconclusive.

I agree that video does look hazy so I’ll scratch that one off the list.

Here is another:


From what I’ve seen in stores G is my favorite color so hopefully F isn’t too white. I saw an E and didn’t really like it.

@DejaWiz if you could give me your thoughts on this one as well. I think this might be it. I don’t see anymore F or Gs on their site in my budget.

Couldn't find a video for this one.
Report indicates many different types of inclusions, but most likely not a worry at a VS1 - I'll let others chime in with their perspectives and opinions.

I don’t think my second attachment went through. Here it is

I won't even hunt for a video because the 41.4/34/58 combo is far from providing maximized light return and optical performance.

Try to stick close to this range, if possible:

Pavilion angle: 40.6-40.8
Crown angle: 34-35
Table width: 54-56 (up to 58-60 could be fine)
Stars: around 50%
Lowers: 75-80%
...there are exceptions for all of these measurements.

Got it. Thank you! I’m just going to screenshot this so I don’t forget.

I was actually about to reply and say never mind. I ran it through HCA and it got a 4.5

@DejaWiz @tyty333 @lovedogs
I am thinking of asking the store to try and get these:


What do you guys think? Or was there another one I sent with better proportions that I should switch one of these out for?

I think you're on the right track to make a good comparison and see which one has the performance personality that grabs your attention the most.

Thank you for all your help! I really appreciate it. I’ll let you guys know if I end up buying one of these
