Hi all,
I am in a bit of a dilemma. I have decided to go ahead and purchase a diamond engagement ring for my soon to be fiance. I am a tech guy and so statistics, figures and diagrams are something that I way over think.
I am buying a cushion cut diamond *cause thats what the soon to be misses wants* and I have already chosen my jewler/diamond dealer. I like the guy and his store and he has been great to work with. He tells me that all the diamonds he has are "very good" cut diamonds. I have managed to narrow my choices down to 2 different diamonds.
GIA report # 6137636241 (This is a D VS2 with good symmetry and very good polish) table 65% depth 68.8%
GIA report # 6175057600 (This is an F VVS2 with very good symmetry and excellent polish) table 60% depth 67%
The D only has one small inclusion I can see on the table under a loop. That isn't the issue. The issue is the color. To my eye there is a huge different between the stones colors and in the right light I can see that difference and it bothers me a lot. BUT I think the F is a much better cut stone and it seems to have a little more "sparkle" to it. I am curious about the opinions of other experts here.
I am also interested in buying the stone as a quasi investment and I am interested to know which stone will have a better resale in the future based on what the experts out here know?
Also is it true that the F might in fact be a G and that the grade report could be off?
Thanks for your answers in advance
