Let me first say I''m sorry for jumping the gun here. I was working on a diamond purchase between Halloween and Thanksgiving and had a serious injury that kept me out of the market until now. I did do a lot of research but I am afraid that I forgot a good amount. I don''t want to waste people''s time here, but in getting back into this purchase for my girl, I would like an opinion on the following options:
Shape A Cut Above Princess A Cut Above Princess
Carat 1.54 1.273
Color H G
Clarity VVS2 VVS1
Measurements 6.39-6.25X4.59 5.86-5.82X4.38
Table % 70.6 69.1
Depth % 73.4 73.3
Polish Ideal Ideal
Symmetry Ideal Ideal
Girdle Thin Thin to Medium
Culet Pointed Pointed
Fluorescence Negligible Negligible
Certificate AGS AGS
Price $10,558.00 $9,079.00
As some background, my girl is about 5'' 4" and petite. The ring would be platinum and have baguettes on the side and based upon the structure (the ring and hers) I was looking for a stone close to 1.5 carats. After looking at a few, I realized ideal cut was important for sparkle....it just made such a difference, wouldn''t you all agree?
But for me, I had a hard time seeing internal flaws so the V and VV clarity doesn''t seem as important, I could probably go to an S as long as it was eye-clean. I did notice color quickly but it was next to another stone.
So the question really becomes if the $1500 price difference is not the guiding factor, would you go for the smaller G or the larger H based upon what I just said was important? and why?"
Thanks
Scott
