Which one is a better deal?

[ec1]

Hi,

I was wondering if anybody could tell me which of these stones is a better deal.

Stone #1

Super Ideal, Branded H&A
Carat: .76
Color: D
Clarity: VS1
Flourescence: Strong Blue
Price: $4320

Crown Angle: 34.2
Pavilion Angle: 40.9
Pavilion Depth: 43.1%


Stone #2
Super Ideal, Non-Branded H&A
Carat: .776
Color: D
Clarity VS2
Flourescence: Negligible

Crown Angle: 34
Pavilion Angle: 40.9
Pavilion Depth: 43.1%
Price: $4212

I kind of like the fact that the first one is branded, but the Strong Blue Florescence with D Color, has me a little bit worried. So which, would you consider a good deal or I should just forget both of them and wait for some better deals. Also, do you think it would be cheaper if I got a E or F color stone instead.

Any help would be appreciated,
EC

You can make your own mind up with regard prices by using the price search funstions available free on Pricescope.

With regard the cut - the HCA scores are great and the symmetry is not a problem.

DEF colors are not easy to pick even in side by side comparisons. VS2 is also better value. You could jump the size up a lot with say F SI1 - but this is all your choice, not ours

Thanks for the reply, Garry!

Should I be worried about the strong flourescence in stone #1, I''ve read that I should avoid strong blue flourescence for a D color stone.

I was also wondering if anybody could tell me which company uses Isee2? I''m aware that Goodoldgold uses it, but does WF, Superbcert or NiceIce use it. It seems like a neat equipment to find out how diamonds performs under normal light conditions.

Thanks,
EC
