I am comparing two round brilliant diamonds (not H&A) Ive found on the internet. They''re both 1.5 ct, I, SI1 and the same price. One has a better HCA score, while the other has a better ideal scope image. Not sure which is more important. I need a little help making the decision, as Im new to this game.
Heres the first, its a 1.54 ct. with an HCA score of 1.2-EX ex-ex-ex-vg. The image can be seen at http://www.whiteflash.com/diamonds/certificate.aspx?idno=630776&file_name=3
Next is a 1.53 ct. with an HCA score of 1.7-EX ex-vg-vg-vg. The image can be seen at http://www.whiteflash.com/diamonds/certificate.aspx?idno=629966&file_name=3
The second ideal scope image has a nice deep red color, and not as much leakage around the girdle. The first image also looks good, but I havent really looked at enough ideal scope images to really tell. Are both stones good choices? How much "better" of an ideal scope image is the second?
Thanks for the help,
Jeff
