Diamond 911!!! Need help in regards to too diamonds AGS or GIA?

[xenadrinex]

Hello,

I am in a state of confusion. I am not sure which diamond would be the better buy assuming price isn''t an issue. Should we go with AGS with a lower HCA rating or GIA with a higher HCA rating? Which stone would look bigger?

Diamond 1 is 1.307 AGS0104039437001 measurements 7.00-7.01 x 4.35 mm

Diamond 2

GIA# 11166390005 1.28 carats measurements 7.00.7.04 x 4.28

Both report numbers are coming up as invalid.. can you check them?

Yap, invalid reports for me too.

Also, HCA is a rejection tool not a selection tool.

I''d go with the GIA, safer combo without an IS and you avoid the AGS0 premium.

Could you have both sent to an appraiser near you to compare?
