Q&A: Choosing the Right 1 Ct. Asscher Cut Diamond

Hi, you have great articles on the site. Thanks for all your advice to newbies like myself!

I am looking to buy this diamond from JA.
https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/asscher-cut/1.01-carat-d-color-vs1-clarity-sku-215870?a_aid=dmnd1357

My questions are:

It has medium blue fluorescence. Does it matter?
Would a 6 prong or 4 prong standard solitaire ring fits it better?

Thanks again for your advice

Yes, medium fluorescence matters. Never buy a colorless diamond with medium fluorescence.

This is a much better choice.

Thanks for your advice. The ring you recommended is probably out of my budget I’m afraid =(.

What about this one?

Thanks

That one is great.

Thanks for your advice.

I am now considering these:

Diamond 1: https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/asscher-cut/1.01-carat-d-color-vs2-clarity-sku-215871?a_aid=dmnd1357

Diamond 2: https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/asscher-cut/1.01-carat-e-color-vs1-clarity-sku-215868?a_aid=dmnd1357

I am torned between the two. I personally prefer the steps of the first one. I am just afraid that it might look too dark in real life. I know my girlfriend would prefer nice steps to sparkle.

Please advise!!!

I honestly think both will be fine. I do not think the D color will look very dark.
