Hello!
Would appreciate your opinion here: How would you rank the four options below? We’re wondering if they are all similar performing and if so should we make a decision based on clarity and color alone? Thank you so much!

They are all beautiful! What a nice selection to choose from for you. I would ask Whiteflash to put the four of them in a video for you to see. You would be able to see if one spoke to you more than another. Beyond that, you might just look at price. Some are less than others; presumably as they were bought at different times and different prices. Personally, I think I would choose the 1.80 E VVS2 - great specs and price. This is one of those situations though where you would be hard pressed to choose wrong! Please keep us posted - would love to know what you chose!
 
I would knock the 1.72 E out of the options to help narrow it down. It's not any bigger and the price is the same. I dont
see that it's buying you anything over the other 3.

A couple of options you could go with...

I would probably ask for pictures of the 1.8 E and the 1.82 F together. If you can't tell any difference, go with the F.

Or

Ask your SA to look at the 4 stones and see if anyone "speaks" to them. They are very well trained at looking for nuances
in Super Ideal stones.

Good luck! You cant make a bad decision!
 
This view will be easier to compare. Use a computer or tablet and not your phone so you can see them next to each other.

Great for looking at specs but I also like to look at images this way too. Some nuances will be GIA reports LGF’s to the nearest 5% so they will typically be 75% or 80%. The issue being an average 77% gets classified as 75% and a 78% gets classified as 80%. In reality, there will be very small variation between 77 &78 but more noticeable between 75 & 80. When comparing images in this view, you can look at the idealscope or ASET images and see thickness of arrows, although table sizes has some effect on the visuals. For instance a 54 table with 77 LGF’s will look thicker than a 55 table with 77 LGF’s. The heart scope will provide a better indication. The tighter the gap that forms the V the smaller the LGF’s. So if you see those gaps are nearly the same but one report reads 75 and the other 80 then it may indeed be a 77 & 78 scenario. Other variations will present themselves.

Finally I like to watch the videos of all the stones side by side. WF has an extremely controlled photo & video setup. You can often see how one stone may have slightly more/broader fire than other stones. All beautiful and H&A but a way to wade through the nuances. With videos, I sometimes increase web page magnification high and use multiple web windows to do a side by side. Often I will manually spin the diamonds to see how large the fire flashes are.
 
Wow! All of you are so wonderful! Taking the time to answer my question. I wasn’t expecting a response, but thank you for sharing!

I have a video and was wondering if I could share on this forum? I’m new here and I’m not sure of the rules.
 
Yes, you can share @kbin . We love to look at videos. You'll have to put it on a hosting site (youtube or somewhere) and
then provide the link.
 
Here is a video, ordered by size

For your price point, what about this? It gets you 2ct range and priced at what the E was. You will not see any inclusions withy our eyes and it's and F

Thank you! I will look it up.
 
Did you ask for and get any still photos so you can compare color? Something similar to below.

As you may or may not know, color is graded through the pavilion with the diamond face down, similar to the 2nd picture. It’s harder to detect subtle color variance in the face up view (1st pic), especially on super ideal cuts like WF ACA’s that are cut right to produce amazing light return.

Unfortunately, the video is very short and so far away that I can't tell much difference between them (as in, they are all beautiful).

I can see that the one on the left looks ever so slightly smaller than the other 3. It does go smallest to biggest, left to right, correct?

I would ask for some up-close pics/video of the 2.02 F/Vs2. If its eye clean (which it should be), then it's a no-brainer for
me.
