2 Diamonds, which is better for the Price?

[nivek]

I realize Color and Clarity are big factrs here, but for the price, which would you go with and why?
I also realize that these gems are alittle on the deep side (Considered too deep?). Is that resulting is a poor spread, or will the performance be hindered much? I appriciate all your help!!!

K,

I would take the time to check these against the HCA, yourself.

If it were just the color, I''d say go with your preference, but what seems like a trivial difference in the pavilion angle is causing a more substantial difference in predicted performance. The F is better.

Thanks
I''ll definately check it out.

I have the dealer sending me the Idealscope
When looking at the photos, the first one definately shows a nice ''hearts and arrows'' in comparison the the second.
See attachment

The second one doesn''t look as uniform

How does this depth percentage hurt the value?
Maybe thats a loaded question.

You guys are great.
Thanks again.
