Diamond stud pendant necklace. Thoughts on diamond?

[Alias]

Hi All!

Looking to get my wife a 10-year anniversary gift. Bought her engagement and push present (diamond studs) from WF.
Looking at this diamond and was hoping to get the experts thoughts?

It looks like a beautiful diamond. My question to you would be how did you come to choose this particular diamond? Size, color, clarity or price? The color and clarity are high which is fine if that is your intent. Would you consider a larger diamond in say a G or H color?

This diamond represents the same size with significant savings: https://www.whiteflash.com/loose-di...olor-vs1-clarity-round-ideal-cut-sku-a4486354

Thank you very much for the input!
I did see that diamond but my concern, as a complete incompetent diamond seeker, is the age of the AGS report. My guess is someone traded it in. Perhaps I am being too picky?

I did see this one as well but worried about the table inclusions?

I wouldn't personally worry about those inclusions, I think they'll completely disappear in real-life viewing plus no one looks as closely at a pendant as they do at a ring. To me the size boost would be worth it, but you can always reach out to WF and ask them for a comparison!

Watching the two videos you truly don't see the inclusions. I think that's the best flavor of SI1. For my $0.02, that one is a winner.

It is possible it was traded in but who knows where any of our diamonds came from and when? Some people would kill to have the AGS report as the specs are far more accurate than a GIA report.
The H looks good too. When an SI1 has many inclusions, chances are they are spread out and better than one large black inclusion. Needles are there and are some of the best inclusions to have in my opinion. Ask WF to do a video comparison of the two if you are still undecided. Nothing like a good comparison shot for color and performance. Keep us posted - your wife is in for a good treat with a new pendant!
