Request for Advice - 1.7 carat cushion - medium flour or not

[raj_s]

Hello All,

I'm currently looking at two options at essentially the same price point and could use some guidance in deciding between an option with a medium blue fluorescence and better colour / clarity vs. one with no fluorescence at lower colour / clarity. The options are:

1. 1.68 carats VVS1, E colour with medium blue fluorescence

2. 1.72 carats VS1, G colour with no fluorescence

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Raj

I would consider that fluorescence would be the last factor to consider. What matters most is which stone is the best cut. I like fluorescence and think it would have zero negative effect and is a very cool natural feature to have! But you buy a cushion by which one has the better cut, and then color and clarity (your preference).
