Down to these 2 diamonds, could you please help me to decide?

which one is better? Should I be worried about the twinning wisps all over the diamonds? (1308707427).

They are both eye clean to me. Also is there anyone that can check the HCA scores for me? I have used 3 lifetime quotas and needs to pay for additional checking.

Thanks

Hi There,

The weekend is a bit slow around here but I'm sure you'll get some answers. Here you go. I like #2's angles better but that's purely on paper. Have the vendor check both stones out for you. Twinning whisps can be both good & bad. Great if they are white & transparent. They might be. Make sure you have it checked. The other one, although the angles do work, is too deep. The plot is cleaner & the inden. naturals are on the edge of the girdle.
Both stones have notations that additional twinning whisps & clouds not shown. Most times they are too small to plot but best to check with the vendor there are no ill effects with the stones. All the best.

1st Stone:

thank you for your comment. I tend to get 2nd stone now.

Any other comment? Thanks

I would choose the second diamond GIA F SI1 for it's color and for the lower depth and crown angles,
For they are almost similar I doubt if you will look at them side by side you will see any difference.
Just check with the vendor that nothing can be seen by the naked eye.

Thanks for your comment.

Should I be worried about the twinning wisps reducing the brillance level at SI1 clarity level? It has lots of twinning wisps but its white color..

You would have to ask a gemologist who has the stone in hand. Not the sales associate. Or hopefully they have a 30 day no question asked return policy and you can look it in person and even with an independent appraiser near you (who doesn’t sell jewelry).
