Engagement Ring - Help me pick.

[S_T92]

I have chosen a Jeweller, been with my partner so she could try on rings to determine setting style and stone size.

On this basis I have arrived at the following two options;

1) https://www.igi.org/API-IGI/viewpdf.php?r=LG611369828

2) https://www.igi.org/API-IGI/viewpdf.php?r=LG578312273

What do people think, based in the UK - there is £100 price difference between the two.

Many thanks for your time.

I think 2 looks better cut.

I’m not at my laptop or I’d try to find the videos. Someone said lookup loupe360.com/diamond/_______
You put the certificate number in the blank space and the video sometimes comes up.

What’s your budget? Are you tied to a particular vendor? We might be able to help you find better cut stones. I’m thinking neither of these are the best you could get for your money. But I’m a relative newbie, and experts will chime in soon I’m sure. @Kim N and @DejaWiz are our cyber-resident experts.

I'm not fond of either of them. You can drop your clarity way down to VS1+.

Neither of these are ideally cut. Are you open to alternatives?

Hello and welcome to PriceScope, S_T92!
Agree with the others...neither are particularly well cut and proportioned.
Clarity can be relaxed quite a bit, especially if the diamond is cut from higher quality rough.
As a great example to showcase this, here is my 0.76 with true ideal proportions and angles...light return assessed with an ASET Scope:

Diamond for future gent's ring

Well, I finally did it! I now have a diamond of my very own. 0.76 D VS1 sporting a 40.6/34.8/54 combo with a nice puffy 16% crown height! https://www.igi.org/reports/verify-your-report?r=LG591306263 Just gave it the full assessment and everything is primo - transparency is great, ASET result...

We'll certainly help you find some fantastic options to pick from, just let us know which jeweler you are working with (if their diamond inventory is listed on their website).
