These 2 diamonds, which one to choose?

[Linuss]

I'm considering these 2 diamonds, both are 'eye clean' diamonds, I don't see any inclusion from the photo itself.

Option 1:
0.6 ct
Color: F
Clarity: VS2
Cut: Excellent
Table: 57%
Crown Angle: 35
Pavilion Angle: 40.6
Girdle: Medium to Slightly Thick
Total Depth: 61.6%
Florescence : Faint

https://www.gia.edu/report-check?reportno=6302981624
HCA Score = 0.9
Cut Score = 100.0


Option 2:
0.6 ct
Color: E
Clarity: VS1
Cut: Excellent
Table: 59%
Crown Angle: 34
Pavilion Angle: 40.6
Girdle: Medium
Total Depth: 59.9%
Florescence : None
https://www.gia.edu/report-check?reportno=2195741361
HCA Score = 1
Cut Score = Not available

Please advice.

Do you have links to the stones themselves so we can see videos/judge inclusions?

From the numbers alone, #1 gives you more ''traditionally preferred" numbers , and #2 is a 60/60 style. Have you seen / read about differences between the two types? That might help narrow things down. I'd also strongly recommend asking the vendor for an IS/ASET to check light performance.

I'm not able to get the IS/ASET scope from the supplier. These all the info and photo info given. Hope it helps.

Out of respect to the OP I am not going to share the web link to the vendor site, but the first stone is available at two locations, approx $1850 range.

Here is a pic. No video, etc. is available on either site I looked at.

Proportions are within ideal territory. I'd be curious to see an idealscope and/or ASET image before committing to buy.




I would agree with you on the second stone. It's nearing the 60/60 style which is a different personality that not all people love. Also, the proportions tag this as excellent (EX) cut but could easily slip to very good (VG) or ideal depending on actual values and not rounded/averaged as GIA reports.

I'd personally keep looking for a better stone.

Oh yeah, here's a video. I tried to record using a screen capture program as I was trying to protect the vendor link. My first time so excuse the clumsiness.
