hi all,
if anyone out there has a second, i''d really appreciate some help in trying to choose between these two diamonds from WF.
(1) round ideal cut 0.53 ctw G VS2 $1,422.00 [HCA: 1.1]
(2) round ACA 0.517 ctw G SI1 $1,500.00 [HCA: 1.2]
as far as i can tell (i don''t know if i''m using it properly), they both did well on the HCA. btw, what am i supposed to input in the ''culet'' box on the HCA?
my question is whether i should go for (1) with better clarity, or (2) with better cut. the rest of the factors are negligible so i guess it''s really down to those two. how much better are the WF ACAs compared to their ideals? and generally speaking, are SI1 diamonds eye-clean?
also (apologies in advance if this question is way off the mark), if i inputed the numbers correctly on the HCA, why did the ideal cut perform better than the ACA? isn''t ACA supposed to be superior?
that''s it then.
thanks a lot for your time!
