Comparing two diamonds

[zorrikina]

Hi, I'm trying to decide between two diamonds for an engagement ring for my beautiful girlfriend. I was hoping you could help me make my final decision.

Diamond #1
2.35 carat, I, VS1, Strong Blue Fluorescence
table 57%, depth 61.8%, crown angle 35.5, crown% 15.5, pavilion angle 40.8, pavilion% 43, star length 50%, lower half percentage 80%
$15,300




Diamond #2
2.12, J, VS1, No Fluorescence
table 58%, depth 60.7%, crown angle 33, crown% 13.5, pavilion angle 41.0, pavilion% 43.5, star length 45%, lower half percentage 75%
$14,200



Both are GIA triple excellent.

Thanks for all your help!

Thanks for the input! I am also wondering if the crown angle is too shallow on diamond #2. And has there been instances when good ASET images do not translate into good looking stones?

Did you run the numbers through the HCA tool?

The first diamond is 2.6 and the second is 0.8 on the HCA scale.
