Hey guys,
I've been posting on a 2.38 cushion FIY diamond here, but that's pretty much been scrapped. So I've found three 2+ carat diamonds I'm interested in.

Now the 2.58 seems both visually very appealing and an amazing price. This is probably due to the larger depth and strong blue fluoresence. I'm assuming the fluro must have quite an effect on the price as the price seems wayy too good to be true for a diamond of that caliber.
The 2.5 is also very nice. A bit of a bowtie effect and extinction on the N/S edges but not much I think? It has a larger depth as well, but now only medium fluor. The price difference is quite drastic around $8000.
The 2.20 is also quite pricy, polish and symmetry bit lacking compared to the other two but very good face up size and depth. Visually, it looks like there's a bit more windowing around the center and dark clouds around the edges then I like. Or perhaps it's just the picture's glare, a bit hard to tell. This stone has no fluro however.
What are your guys opinions? Which stone would you choose and why? Any comments much appreciated.
