Hi, I am looking for a .5 ctw Princess cut d-f vs1-si1 ideal cut diamond. I found one on James Allen that was AGS true hearts, I was wondering if that cut beats the ideal cut GIA diamonds also listed on James Allen. I am also looking for 2 .25 princess cut stones to go along with the center stone in a 3 stone ring.
Being perfectly honest, I would not go with a True Hearts princess cut. I can help you pick a nicely cut diamond. Also, I’d suggest adjusting your color parameters:

What is your ballpark budget?
Thanks for the advice, yeah if you could help me that would be awesome, after reading your article it looks like g-h would definitely be better for color. My ballpark budget is $1k-1.4k
Is your budget for the center diamond alone, or all three?
Just the center stone, an extra $700-$900 for the other two diamonds.
I love this diamond for you:
What do you think?
That looks great, I’ve been looking at some just like that one on James Allen but if that’s the one you recommend that’s the one I’ll go with.
That is my recommendation. Let me know how it looks when it arrives.
