First choice would be #1 IF....IF it''s eyeclean.

If not, then I''d pick #3.

 

[sunkist]

I''d pick #1 or #3

 

[argh&stuff]

Um, I''m no expert (that''s an understatement!!), but I thought I''d say what I''ve learned.... "mad skill," if you will...

#3 is good because it has a good depth (not too deep), and it has a good table (face up value, so it looks bigger).

It has good measurements, too, other than the girdle is off a bit. (meaning, the size of it is pretty big, when compared to #2 especially)

#1 is good, too, other than you''d need to make sure it''s free of defects when you look at it face up.

How''d I do?

here is a close up picture of the 1st diamond, looks pretty eye clean. I cant see whats wrong with it can yoyu?

 

[Jelly]

My vote is #1. I''d want the biggest diamond for the money and that one looks very nice!

inclusion is at 6 oclock
good place to be hidden, ask them to look at it.
ES si2 arent always eyeclean but are usualy eyecleanish.
ask about it.

hmm according to the cert the main inclusion is a si2 crystal under the table.
with a cloud not shown.. so the 6 oclock one is a reflection or the cloud.
Definitely ask a si2 crystal under the table is often visible.

Yeah, ask them if it is eye clean, but let me tell you, the inclusions you see here you will have to strain your eye at 10 inches away to see it in person--but like i said, check with them 1st

 

[Jesse66]

thanks for the replies...I will call WF tommorrow morning about this diamond and the other two I liked. I will keep you posted.

 

[Small]

My vote is for #1 if eye clean (looks good on the blown up picture or then #3...#2 is too deep IMO. Good luck!

 

[lil_jay78]

Just wanna chime in as well. #1 if it''s eye clean, but if not, I''d probably go with #3 as well.

I just talked to WF the other day, their staff is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. They will definitely help you out in any way they can on aiding you pick the stone you want.

Just fyi,(hope I remembered the info correctly) WF''s standard for "eye clean" is by holding 8cm from the naked eye and looking for any noticeable flaws. They also check at 25 cm(roughly 8-10 inches) as well. Again, I THINK this is what she said...maybe she said mm? But that doesn''t seem right to me...
