I would probably go with the first.... it's just a smidge bigger, no flourescence and the cut advisor is just a smidege more than the second making it completely an insignificant difference in that regard. I am sure others will chime in soon!

I've heard it does not make a difference in appearance if it is faint blue however I am new to all this diamond lingo so am not sure. I have also heard AGS certified usually means it is better than GIA but I don't know if this is true if you have all the measurements to compare. Do you happen to now if we could see a difference between an E and F colour?

Do you happen to now if we could see a difference between an E and F colour? Some people are more color sensative than others. I only can detect color usually at G so E and F would most likely (for many) not be very different, especially standing alone and not next to each other. Many people don't see color until H or even later. AGS has, I believe, more precise and stricter guidelines than GIA but AGS ideal and GIA excellent should be comparable.

If the stones are at Whiteflash, GOG, or ERD, then you could get the opinion of the person who actually has the stone in hand.
