2 Diamonds. Pick one please!

Ok.. so I need some help choosing between these two diamonds. I put them poth on the HCA test. Here are the descriptions and links to both. Important note here is that as long as they are eye clean (which I've been told they are) is all that matters to me. I would like to maximize carat size with excellent performance however, so I would sacrifice carat size to get a more fiery diamond.

But here's a significant carat difference ( I think anyway)

DIAMOND 1:

It's specs are at the bottom of the page. Pavilion angle is 41.2. Crown angle is 35.0

HCA score of 3.7-- very good





DIAMOND 2:

1.8 I believe on the HCA. I think the crown angle was less than diamond 1 around 34 and the pavilion angle was around the same which made it score better.



HELP! Thanks guys I appreciate greatly!


It is basically a $200 difference. Think a non diamond fanatic could tell any difference in quality at all?

Thanks friends,

As a male, it's tempting to go for the bigger stone. She probably won't be able to tell the difference in .15 carats anyway. Plus the 1.07 c one does score much better. I appreciate it.

That's the answer I thought I'd get!

Diamond 2, hands down.
