Hi everyone,

I was looking at these two Whiteflash ACA diamonds.

Both are the same carat weight and very close on price.

I've long heard that you should never sacrifice cut for anything. However, I 'm also a bit confused about when you consider two cuts similar enough that color&clarity come into consideration. Judging by the Hearts&Arrows image, the H color diamond seems to have slightly better symmetry. Will this difference have a noticeable effect on the light performance?

TLDR: which one would you get?

Thank you!

They are both perfectly cut.
F-VS1 for me, because I prefer high clarity.

Both would be beautiful. I too would go with the F. Higher color and clarity.

Both have ideal symmetry. The F VS1 is the better choice if both are in budget.
