I''ve been looking for a diamond that is very well cut and is at least VS2, F and in the 1.00-1.1ct range. So these 2 diamonds look pretty good and also in my price range of around $9k. I just wanted to see if I have Price Scope''s approval for this.

Since I''m pretty new to all of this, I just don''t want to get ripped off. Thanks in advance!

Welcome to Pricescope!

Two excellent contenders, you can''t go wrong with either, so it is a case of price and colour preference - good job!

They both look gorgeous, but I don''t think I could pass up the E ACA! I love the icy whiteness of the D-E range, and I can tell the difference with my naked eye between a E and an F - possibly just a few lucky guesses, but I could tell they weren''t quite the same. Of couse, when set, and not side by side, you won''t be able to tell, but I would feel better with the E.
