Hello!
I wonder if someone might possibly be kind enough to help me to decide between these two sets of diamonds, to be set into studs. Both are from Blue Nile and so I cannot get light performance images for them. I do know that most Pricescopers prefer to buy stones from Whiteflash due to the superior quality and level of information provided. However, I guess I don't really consider myself to be enough of a connoisseur to pay the premium in terms of prices. I have also approached IDJ about this purchase, as I have bought from them before and also plan to buy jackets from them for the studs, but they don't have anything suitable in their inventory at the moment.
I have a non H&A triple excellent G SI2 engagement ring that scored 'excellent' on HCA, for which I have never seen light performance images either, purchased from Adiamor a number of years back - and I am more than happy with it. I also have a 5 stone ring from IDJ sold to me as G SI2, non certified, and I am also extremely happy with that. So that is the sort of consumer I am, if it helps!
Both sets of diamonds for the studs have been confirmed as eye clean. I will attempt link to GIA reports below. Please let me know if it hasn't worked!
1.22 tcw, G, SI2 (HCA ratings - one 'excellent' and the other 'very good') - GIA nos 6221445869 & 5166938038
1 tcw, F, SI1 (HCA ratings - both 'excellent') - GIA nos 2226442163 & 7226394080
I would be really grateful for any input...
