Expert opinion needed

[maple_syrup]

Hi all,

This is my first post! This is a great place for learning about diamonds, which I have been doing for the past few weeks. I have narrowed down my search between these two rocks, both of which look great to my untrained eyes.

a 0.836ct I VS2 from BGD
&
a 0.813ct H VS2 from WF

They are about the same price wise. But the difference is that the one from BGD is the BGD signature diamond, and the one from WF is from their Expert Selection category. Getting the stone from WF will save me additional shipping fee plus additional discount for being first timer. I would like to know if there's significant visual difference between the two diamond, based on your experience?

Thank you!

Both have the fat arrows and small tables I prefer.

I'd get the one with the best upgrade policy (if that's a concern for yoy) or from the place with the setting you prefer.

They're both beautiful stones, and while the WF isn't an ideal H&A, it is an AGS0.

Between those two stones, I'd take the H because of color.

My feeling is to go for the H, but be sure you talk to Whiteflash before purchasing.

The cert has the following note:
The clarity grade of this diamond is based on clouds that are not shown.

This can sometimes be a cause of concern (but normally with SI1 or lower clarity).

It may be worthwhile to check out this stone, as well, as it is similar size (diameter) and a few dollars less expensive:
.806ct, H, SI1

Just something worthwhile to check before finalizing!

Thanks for the feedbacks so far

I'd go with the WF due to the higher color and the other issues you mentioned (save on shipping, discount, etc).

Both beautiful stones though.
