Hello,
I am looking for a heart shape diamond about 1.5 c. I have some diamonds that I liked at James Allen and I would like to have an opinion form the expert.
My two favorite diamonds:

Thank you.
www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/heart-shaped/1.51-carat-g-color-si1-clarity-sku-10206093?a_aid=dmnd1357 – This stone is nice, I think it’s eye-clean.
www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/heart-shaped/1.71-carat-h-color-si1-clarity-sku-9660149?a_aid=dmnd1357 – Also a nice diamond, I don’t see any red flags.
I found this alternative: www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/heart-shaped/1.50-carat-h-color-vs2-clarity-sku-10038308?a_aid=dmnd1357.
I always recommend checking the actual measurements when comparing two or more diamonds.
I am planning to set this stone into a white gold pave setting. With white gold, my big concern is the color of the center stone. This stone so far is my favorite: www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/heart-shaped/1.71-carat-h-color-si1-clarity-sku-9660149?a_aid=dmnd1357 However, when I am comparing it to other stones same color grade it seems to me to pick up more yellow. What do you think?
In your opinion, which stone out of these 3 ones will look better in the white gold setting? Which of them will look more sparkly?

There is not a big difference between them. To the majority of people, H colored diamonds look colorless when set. The 1.71ct diamond looks amazing, I agree. All of them are perfectly cut and will be brilliant. If you like the 1.71ct stone, then go for it, it’s a nice option. Also, if you end up not liking it in person for some reason, you can easily return it and choose a diamond with a higher color grade. Please let me know how you decided.
Thank you. We got the 1.71ct stone.
That’s wonderful news! I hope the stone will meet (or exceed) your expectations.
