Jennifer at James Allen has been a great help, now ... ''there can be only one''. Anyone with some good advice, it would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to Pricescope!!!!
The second diamond is not available did you reserve it?

This is how the 1st and 2nd one scored on the HCA note: anything scoring between a 0-2 is good; this tool is used to weed out bad performers



Factor Grade
Light Return Excellent
Fire Excellent
Scintillation Excellent
Spread
or diameter for weight Very Good
Total Visual Performance 0.7 - Excellent
within TIC range


Make sure the stone is eye clean

Thanks Skippy! I do have the first reserved but having a tough time pulling the trigger. 2nd looks very nice too but is the price worth the jump to an I ?? My girl prefers an I but she hasnt mentioned flor blue and so many speak of the uniqueness....

Bump! I need to make a call today?! Anyone with a word of advice?

They are both lovely diamonds! But if your girl prefers an I to a J colour and has made that preference clear, then I would go with that one. Also what you could do, is to contact Jennifer, and ask her which diamond has the most ' flair' and which one might be the most suitable for your purposes, if you still can't decide.
