Hi

Im researching diamonds for a 3-stone for my mom's anniversary/birthday present.
I have been working with Bob at whiteflash and he has been amazing helping me pick the centre diamond and answering all my questions!
However I cant choose which centre stone I would prefer. I currently wear a G VVS1 and I dont see any warmth in the stone and I love that it is of a high clarity and I want the same for mom but her budget wont stretch that far.
I am currently trying to pick between 2 diamonds (attached below), please tell me which you would pick or suggest others that are suitable! Any help would be fantastic!

Diamond 1: 0.427 G VS2 (my concern are the "clouds" in the centre of the diamond)

Diamond 2: 0.441 I VVS1 (my concern is the color and cut)

Thanks!

Definitely go with the G VS2! I don't think you'll be happy going down to I color from what you said. And VS2 is still nice. I have a VS1 diamond and can't see a thing with a 10x loupe. So VVS is really paying for extra clarity that you can't really distinguish from a VS1. You will more easily see a difference between G and I, though.

I definitely would not be worried about VS2! obviously you can get higher clarity if that is important to you but there is nothing to worry about with VS2 clouds
