Decisions on carat size

[aksiu77]

Hi everyone! Can you guys help me what size I should pick? On the photo you are seeing 2.11 on left and 2.24 in the right. I’m a size 4.5 finger. I’m concerned of the size and being comfortable wearing it so I’m thinking I should go with 2.11 but then I feel I’ll regret it not picking 2.24. The bigger the better is this true? Lol

Hi! Pretty stones. Go by the mm dimensions. How many mm difference is there. You can also use this tool to see them and compare on your size finger. https://www.diamdb.com/

I would go with whichever stone is better cut. For some reason the 2.11 looks larger to me in both photos.

Hello and welcome to PriceScope, aksiu77!
I noticed on the report that the 2.24 is a D VVS1...try relaxing the color and clarity a bit. VS1 will be just as eye-clean as any VVS, almost all VS2 are safe, and a majority of SI1 will be just fine (depending on the types, sizes, and locations of any inclusions). E-F will really open up a lot more available options to pick from.
This will help maximize size/spread for your budget.
Kudos for picking out an HPHT!

If you'd like some help to find some great options to pick from, do you mind answering the following questions?

1. North America or Overseas
2. VAT rate (if applicable)
3. Budget cap in USD (before VAT/fees)
4. Setting metal/color

If my assumption is right about your budget, then here are some options that may be worth a look:

Don't get sucked in by numbers. The .13 ct isn't worth choosing the bigger stone over the smaller if the smaller is cut better etc. Keep looking if neither of them really sing out to you. Don't pass up a 1.9 - 2ct bargain if it's a nice stone as you have a 4.5 finger which will make it look substantial anyway

Both stones have the same best type of ideal heart cut, color and clarity as lab diamonds. Price range were pretty similar around 13k. I decided to go with the 2.24 diamond
