Go with the F/ SI-2!
You state that 1. both radiants are very well cut, 2. the SI-2 inclusions on the 'F' are not visible at all; the stone is "eye-clean". Be aware that although the 'H' is also a very good cut, in this color and shape, the stone may draw some color from the side, and depending on your setting, may be noticeable. I suspect that the reason the F/SI-2 is "eye-clean" is because of it's great cut. The fact is that an exquisitely cut diamond will tend to 'mask' internal inclusions. So, from your description, I would say you've got the best of all worlds: Great color, great cut, and an "eye-clean" stone at a SI-2 price! You're sure to get a ton of compliments. Go for it.

If you love both stones, the best thing is a side by side comparison. Even though they're at different jewelers, I would find out which one has the best return policy & try to compare then together, under the same lighting.
I say this because I was recently looking at a 2ct princess that looked beautiful to me. I couldn't tell until it was next to my E color stone that it was really a J-K color, and that made all the difference for me. You haven't mentioned the price difference between the 2 stones, that could be a determining factor also. |
