Hi everyone,
In bit of a pickle, maybe I'm overthinking things...
At the moment I'm struggling between getting a slightly bigger diamond by 0.15mm, with perhaps a lesser colour (ags G) vs a higher colour (Gia G) ...
Both are ideal hearts and arrows and have great aset pics. Both r they same price! The Gia g vs2 is slightly more expensive by 200 dollars..
The ags although slightly bigger is also si1 clarity but I hear ags is stricter on clarity than Gia.. But the Gia smaller diamond is vs2..
Is colour more important than clarity? In this case si1 doesn't affect optics and stone looks eye clean I'm told.
I was going to go for the bigger one until another dealer unrelated to either diamond retailers said that GIA r stricter on colour than ags.
Now what would u guys do? Is 0.15mm a big difference in size? To me, it does appear bigger side by side..
But I don't want a colour that's lower than a Gia G..
Initially I wanted an e-f so a Gia G is compromising.. And then now if ags grades more lenient.. I'm paranoid I'm going to end up with a Gia H (((((
Is it worth sacrificing a little size for slightly better colour? Will there be a colour difference between the two? I can't compare both in person...
Does ags still grade more lenient in colour and polish to GiA? I know they r great for cut.. But seeing as both the diamonds I'm considering have aset scope, the ags doesn't add more value in telling me the performance of the stone..
Thanks everyone for any advice u can give...
