Maybe an expert can chime in as to whether that is leakage? I'll post that one for convenience. I would therefore go for the H VS1.

Ask WF, they can tell you best. I would trust their answer. cheers, a

The hearts images, when viewed with magnification, are distorted too. The H looks better but still not really symmetric as fas as IS is concerned. You look at size / shape of each black spot. You may be able to do better.

Ellen Ideal Rock Total Posts: 22,894 Last Post: 11/6/2009 Member Since: 1/13/2006	The diamond was definitely tilted (I've seen this before). If it were really that off, it never would have gotten the brand name. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds." -Murray N. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880 "There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things.... The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

loom Rough Rock Total Posts: 8 Last Post: 8/17/2007 Member Since: 7/2/2007	Hmmm. I had reserved the G but it was a toss up between color or clarity (G or VS1). I had spoke with WF and they told me I had a nice set of earrings because of their similarity and that the SI1 was eye clean. I'm going to assume for now that the symmetry issue is a tilted stone. Anyone notice anything else or have a preference between the two? Engineer buying a diamond for an engineer.... what a nightmare. -Loom

I'd love to help, but my puter has decided that it's not letting me copy and paste links anymore. So I can't see the stones. However, if WF said they are that close, and the SI1 is eyeclean, I'd pick color over clarity. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds." -Murray N.

loom Rough Rock Total Posts: 8 Last Post: 8/17/2007 Member Since: 7/2/2007	Just an update, I went with the G. Not much of a choice considering someone reserved the other one, shouldn't have posted both links I guess. A little nervous about not seeing before buying however. I guess I'll know in about a week. Thanks for all the feedback. -Loom
