Im very near to purchasing an BGD engagement ring BUT have been going back and forth over the main stone and cant make up my mind!
Here are the two:
The .575 G VVS2 HCA: 0.7

.716 I VVS2 HCA: 1.5
http://www.briangavindiamonds.com/diamonds/diamond-details/0.716-i-vvs2-round-diamond-ags-bl-104087405016
Both of these are fluorescent, which I want for the diamond. The .716 is stretching the budget a little HOWEVER my main concern with it is that its cut is not as good, as seen in the provided aset/idealscope images (look at the center star, how it is not as symmetrical with the larger stone, and the more thorough solidity of the red in the .716 vs .575), AND the HCA scores being better for the smaller stone.
I want to get the larger stone but don't know if it is worth the $500. Will the different in cut be noticeable? Am I imagining the difference will be larger than it is?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
