Hello all,
I am interested in buying an investment grade diamond. I am having trouble deciding between two very similar diamonds with a few differences. One of my main concerns is for me to get an awesome deal (below wholesale) and also for it to shine from the other side of the room . The shine and sparkle is mainly due to the cut, so I decided to look into Hearts & Arrows. Can someone please look into the following 2 diamonds and tell me which one is a better deal and better diamond? The cuts are rated differently: One is Ideal and the other is Ideal Plus, with both being Hearts & Arrows on the certificate. The Comments for one states "Hearts & Arrows", while the Comments for the other states Inscribed:87378, so I'm not sure what the difference here will be. The price difference is $500, which one is the better diamond and the better deal???? Also is this a good deal or could I get something better elsewhere?
I'd appreciate any professional opinions as I'm not in the jewelry field, but want a diamond that's on fire.
Please advise.
