Q&A: Looking for Feedback on Several 0.7-0.8 Ct. Round Diamonds

By Mike Fried,

 Hello,

Thank you so much for maintaining this website. I am looking for a 0.7-0.8 carat diamond. I had a couple in mind but I’m finding it really hard to decide between them. Could you please help me?

This one seems clean to me with the naked eye and the 40x magnification shows a really slight inclusion at 1 o clock.

This is another one I’m debating.

So is this one but it is slightly above my budget. I’m trying to fit in the stone and setting for around 3.5k

This one is a higher color grade but smaller. I don’t think its a great idea to take almost a 0.1c downgrade for the slightly higher color, what do you think?

Thanks so much for your help! 

 

 All of those are eye-clean, but this is the best choice.

I don’t think the cut on the first one and third one is no better (so no point in spending 10% more). And I agree that its better to go with that then the 0.70ct. 

 Thank you so so much for the extensive reviews on your website! It was a tremendous help when buying the ring for my fiancee. I went for a smaller stone (0.61c) but G VS1 excellent cut in a halo setting

and it looked phenomenal. My fiancee can’t stop talking about the sparkle on that stone! I’m recommending your website to anyone who will be ring shopping in the future.
