Canera Ideal Hearts vs. Whiteflash ACA

[missygee]

Hello! I've pivoted a little since my last posting and am now focusing on G VS super ideal diamonds. I've decided that I can see color so H is a little too yellow for me. I've narrowed it down to these 3 options: 2 Canera Ideal Hearts and 1 WF ACA. Would love feedback on which of these would be better.

For reference, my ring size is 3.75 and I'm a little worried the WF one will be too big on my finger. I was hoping to stick closer to 2.2 carats but WF doesn't have any at the moment that fit my criteria or budget.

Appreciate the help!

This is really splitting hairs because they’re all amazing! But...I kind of prefer the 2.23 just because it’s a VS1. I don’t like seeing the inclusion right on the arrow in the ACA, but I realize it will be eyeclean.

With the discount on a Victor setting that comes with the stone...I'd do either of the Victor choices personally

Thank you all! I just noticed that both Victor stones have "Indented Natural" inclusions. I haven't really seen or heard about these before. Is this something I should be concerned about?

I’m curious as well! Never heard of those

well, I might be biased but I will totally go for ACA! You can find my post here. Feel free to check out the videos. ACA is amazing!

Another reason to go for ACA is better value, you will get a bigger stone!

I just found this thread that makes it seem like it’s all about the placement.

Question regarding indented naturals

I have a few questions for the experts about indented naturals. I am BRAND new of this and have been getting mixed opinions/emotions on this stone. GIA Report: https://yadav-certs.s3.amazonaws.com/2278478172.pdf CT: 2.0 Round Clarity: VS1 Cut: Excellent Depth: 62.6 Table: 54 Crown angle: 34.5...

Interesting - thanks for sharing! Seems like they may not be an issue, but without being able to see the stones in person easily, makes me hesitant to commit. =/ And I know that if I can feel something uneven it will drive me nuts!

Leaning more towards the ACA now but worried 8.55mm on a size 3.75 finger might be too much??

Why not go just under then? This is gorgeous! https://www.hpdiamonds.com/en-us/diamonddetail/HPD10946

no, i don't think so. here is how the diamond is going to look like to give you an idea. mine is 9.21 on my 4.25-4.5 finger, it looks amazing!
