0.51c E VS1 vs 0.54c D VS1

[hfinklestone]

I am at the end of my tether, but I am finally down to two stones. Please help me out... Price difference between the two: 494$ (D-color is more expensive). I would go for the 0.54c, however what keeps me from it is the coloration of the hearts (see pictures below).

Thank you so much for the time you put into evaluating the two stones.

The d

Thank you for your reply!

Nothing to worry about the coloration of the hearts?
Because of the cut or the color?

For the little price increase I think its worth it to get a D, I think the cut is just lovely, and though only slightly larger, the d is larger.

And I prefer smaller tables.

There is nothing to worry about with the cut on this brand of diamond. Likely just a little bit different lighting set up for the photos between the two diamonds.

I agree with Niel. Beautiful. Congrats....on finding two great diamonds.

Wow, thanks so much! I did not expect to receive such a unanimous verdict... This really encourages me to spend some more money on the 0.54 carat diamond

I was already pretty sure I would get the 0.54c (D-color), however only the grey coloration of the two hearts unsettled me a bit.

Wow, good eye They are crafted by infinity. I just wanted to get the best diamond I could in the 0.5X range. Because larger would not suit the setting I chose.

 

[Niel]

Oh, what setting??

 

[hfinklestone]

It is a tension ring setting. The look I was going for: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/90523441/diamonds/setting.png

Although there were a few adjustments to this design to make it everyday life wearable: ring has about the same width as the diamond and thickness has been reduced...
