I prefer the first diamond from the IS, do you have the rest of the info such as the proportions for each diamond, colour, clarity and carat please?

It depends on what you want. If it''s a top of the line, super dooper louper, you want the first stone. If you just want a nice diamond, that will look better than a lot of them out there, then you''d want the second one.

 

[markusfromtherock]

the difference in price is less then $500, if that helps in the decision

Get the first one.

 

[Lorelei]

Unless I missed it, what is the size, colour and clarity of the second diamond please? But I would get the first with that price from the info given.

Size is 1.58, the Sarin is up there ^

 

[markusfromtherock]

The first one is a 1.51c F SI1, very eye clean

the 2nd is a 1.58c f SI1, fairly eye clean except for a light grey cloud on one of the upper facets
medium blue flour on this one as well, which was something I was looking for initially

For that little bit of price difference, I really would get the better cut stone. You won''t regret it. And in a color this high, you don''t really need flo, and some experts say it doesn''t do anything until H anyway.

The first one looks like a much better stone, IMHO. For $500 more, that would be a no brainer for me!

 

[markusfromtherock]

tough choice. Reading about how excited owners of flourescence diamonds are (stone #2) vs the better quality of the first stone gives me something to think about!
