Searching for a .9 - 1ct RB diamond for an Ering for my GF. Having the ring custom made locally, but having trouble finding the correct diamond.

Diamond 1:
.90 ct I SI1 60.4 % Depth, 58.0% Table, 33.5 Crown Angle 14% depth, 40.8 Pavilion Angle 43% depth, HCA 1.0

Diamond 2:
.91 ct G SI1 61% Depth, 58.0% Table, 34 Crown Angle 14% depth, 40.8 Pavilion Angle 43% depth, HCA 1.1

Or should I keep looking?

I don't have a problem with the I color, or the SI grades as long as its eye clean. I saw an I1 that was eye clean locally, but they wanted way to much $$ for it! Its much cheaper for me to buy the diamond loose online and have it set locally, than it is for me to buy locally. My budget is in the sub $4000 range. TIA.
 
Ask if they can get you any pictures or Ideal Scope, if there is any haziness on the one the G.

It looks like you can see the feather at the 2:00 position on diamond #1, but #2 has a larger inclusion in the table. What do you think? I have asked for an IdealScope but haven't gotten one yet.
 
I'm leaning towards #2, any opinions?
 
Both look fine.
