One Last Question B4 I Buy (I HOPE?)

[franklin11]

Good Evening Everyone, It is me Erik again with a few last stones that I found today that
I am pretty sure I have narrowed down my purchasing to for this week!

I believe all the measurements are spot on to where they need to be...

All the Whiteflash are AGS and the Blue Nile is GIA
All are in the Color I am looking for
All (except the BN stone) have the scope pics to go along with each of them.

So I guess I would like to know from any of you that have helped me along before with some serious expertise (Which I really cannot thank you enough!) which of these...going on the information provided in the links,and past experience with these vendors, Which is going to be my absolute best value and moreover sparkle/brilliance?

Cheers, and thanks again in advance,

I would go with one of the WF ACAs

1) guaranteed to be top of the line cut, backed by performance images
2) if you want H&A BN is not an option
3) wf has better upgrade/buyback policies (good to have even if you don't think you'll use now, things can change

)

of the three - all will be amazing, there's nothing to differentiate with, cut-wise..

Lets have a look Erik, I will just make your links clickable to make it easier.

I like the .81 F VS1 ACA best, if you are having trouble deciding ask for Bob or one of the other WF staff to look at each stone and the images and advise you from there...The BN diamond could be excellent but if having a h&a diamond matters to you then without clear and detailed images of both hearts and arrows, no way to judge the patterning and overall cut precision unfortunately.

Ditto the above.

Ok, Great! Thanks Again!

Just an insight as to why the both of you like the .817 over the .812?

Price?
Cut?
or
Scope Images Provided?

I am going to go with either one of these and any last thoughts as to one over the other would be fantastic!

Cheers,
Erik

Price. The price increase is mainly due to the difference in clarity grade from a VVS2 and a VS1. You will not be able to tell the difference in clarity unless with a loupe or better equipment so why do you want to pay for it?

Ditto and I have a preference for this diamond''s images.
