comparing two diamonds

[grookix]

I am looking at these 2 diamonds. Both are very similar, but the difference is that in the "clarity characteristics" one is CLOUDY and the our says PINPOINT. Which one would you choose? And I''ve noticed that some of the reports don''t have anything under the clarity characteristics, is this the ideal thing to do is to buy a diamond with no characteristics at all? Also, is it important that a diamond doesnt show any blue or black? Thanks for your help!

need the crown and pavilion angle for a rough guess of the cut performance.

Hello, Thanks for looking. It''s very difficult to read the PDF download but I think it says the following. I am still learning all there is to know about looking for my diamond. If you can describe, why do these things matter?

0.90
crown- 14.5% - its too difficult to read the degrees on this one.
pavilion- 43% - 11.5 degrees

0.93
crown- 15% - 35 degrees
pavilion- 43% - 10.8 degrees

Thanks again for your help!

I think this was wrong. Its really hard to read but I think the degrees on the pavilion are in the 40''s. sorry about that.... does think make more since?

crown- 14.5% - its too difficult to read the degrees on this one.
pavilion- 43% - 41.5 degrees

0.93
crown- 15% - 35 degrees
pavilion- 43% - 40.8 degrees

The angles are important engines that drive the light return of a diamond, so these values are critical. If you can''t read the reports, if you could post the report numbers then we can look them up online.

yap, post the GIA report number.

With VVS I do not think that the type of inclusions matter. In both cases they will be small and you will *never* see them with the naked eye. You could even safely drop to VS1 clarity and be safe. VVS clarity is only for people who like *knowing* they have a VVS diamond, it is not necessary to have a diamond that is visibly clean of inclusions.

I''ll comment on the cut once someone posts the report links!
