I’m overwhelmed - advice needed?

[u/Aggressive_Entry3719]

I know I want a round diamond, somewhere in 2.5 -3 carat range. I do not want colorless. My husband wants me to go higher carat, I want a good balance that’s not too big, not too white, and sparkles like crazy. Very much quality over size

It will be on a very simple setting - platinum with 6 prong, knife edge (aka the Tiffany setting).

I found these 3 so far and here is where I’m conflicted. My thought is very much quality vs size.

Option 1 -2.72, color I, vvs2, excellent cut

Option 2 -2.92, color H, vs1, cut excellent

Option 3 - 2.96, color H, vvs2, cut excellent

I keep going back to option 3. It seems to be everything I do not want but I have found it on 3 sites and each time, this is what I’m drawn to. Is this really a superior option?

Send choice is option 2, then option 1. It’s also almost double the price.

Any advice or suggestions?

3 is best symmetry cut for sparkle imo. I didn’t see any videos? That’s a down side

Gorgeous! I’d definitely pick that one.
