Cant decide between these Diamonds...

[nobody]

Please let me know what you think, Which you would choose and why. Should I be concerned with the fluorescence in 1.? And what about the Chip(inclusion) in 2.? Should I purchase both so that I can see them in person, than return one?

Both fab diamonds, it depends whether you would rather have the branded ACA in #2 and a G colour, or the Expert Selection and a colour grade higher - whether you would notice any difference between these colour grades is doubtful though. The chip/ inclusion won't be an issue, also the fluorescence isn't a problem either. Fluorescence in strong blue can very occasionally make a diamond look milky or cloudy in some lights, but this is rare and won't be a consideration here.

WF will be able to tell you if both are eyeclean.

What she said. Also, #1 should be a teensy bit bigger, which is always nice.

Both are gorgeous, so you can''t make a wrong choice here.

I''d probably pick the slightly larger one if both are similarly priced. The blue fluor shouldn''t be a problem at all.
