I think I have it narrowed down for the engagement ring (gulp).
Two choices. The first would seem to have better cut (H and A ACA) but worse HCA score, better color, lower weight but similar spread, lower clarity but eye clean, slightly less expensive. I''m leaning toward the first on recommendation of the consultant. What do you think? Thanks in advance for the help. (Lorelei, I''m including the pictures you requested from my earlier post)
