offcourse bigger is better but has you can see the bigger diamond doesnt have the same quality..so would you go with the smaller one or the bigger one..for me i can really see the difference in the quality of the diamonds just by the picture

Those prices are pretty cheap.

But I do like the last one best, out of the three.

Ill chime in here since I know DIAMONDS pretty good

VS2 is pretty good, I1 is junk I dont care how large it is and 1.75 is way too large

because it will show all the trash...The most commeonly sold engagement ring

is a VS2 1.00 G color---- Anything Below Si1 IMO is not a great product.....

A good 1CT VS2 stone starts at about 4500-5 grand.........

Multi Stones are alot smaller and alot cheaper

not really..lol its a xmas gift for someone in the family whos always wanted a diamond ring but never had the money to buy one and if she ever did she would rather spend it on someone else in her family instead of on herself..and i choose the 3 stone because i think they look really nice with marquise comming in close 2nd..

Ahh ok, I like the smaller first one a lot. Would get it over the bigger one with flaws. As someone else said with a diamond that big chances are you will be able to see the flaws pretty easy.

The last one is ok, not sure how old this person is but I think any women

ya i was thinking to myself sure the 1.75 ct is bigger but it has flaws which means you will see them that much easier..so im going with the smaller better quality vs2

larger, the only difference between them is not measurable with the ***** eye unless they are highly trained and 2 inches from the diamond under super bright lights. I will give you an example. When I got engaged, I had a custom ring made for my wife, It was done in such a way that it couldn't be sized, well after 2 children it didn't fit properly and we tried to have it sized, the stones started dropping out. Long short of the story is, she got one of theose $10 rings from target until I either got the other one fixed or bought a new ring. Well we bought a new ring, when we were buying it, the salesman asked if we were going to be trading in the old ring she was wearing. We said no, because ther was a little girl with another couple that kept asking her parents for a ring, well when we bought the other one my wife went a gave the old (walmart) ring to the little girl, the salesmans jaw hit the ground. He seriously thought the ring was real. Moral of the story, If a diamond salesman can't tell the difference between a piece of glass from walmart and a $2,000 diamond, I don't think anyone you will run across in the real world will either. The only time it matters is when you are buying it and selling it, and if your wife ever wants to sell it, do you really give a crap if it SV1? You would probably feel better if it was CZ. If she is selling it you guys are though anyways.

Just my opinion

Horse shit, you would need a loom to see it.

I ahve a $6,000 loose diamond that when I sit it next to my wifes other diamonds that cost 1/3 of the amount, you can't tell any difference other than size.
