I did a few blind test and I was able to identify the better diamond 3 times out of 4. The last time I thought the cheaper one actually look better. If I am not looking at them side by side, then I can't tell the difference. Can't find anything unusual with the magnifier. Now, #1 cost $4000 and #2 is $3200 with tax in CAD. I am not sure if $800 is worth it. It has a more credible cert, does look better in a side by side comparison if I stared at them for a minute. However the cheaper one still look very good by itself. Also the cheaper one has the ideal size (that's her birthday).

Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn
