I am comparing two diamonds and trying to get some expert opinions about which is better.

Since I'm not an expert and haven't seen these stones in person ye t can someone tell me which of these is the better diamond?

See summary of specs below:

What is your guys thoughts? The stones seem very comparable to me but I am not a diamond expert. They are both SI1-F triple-ex or triple-Ideal.

- The AGL stone seems to have slightly better proportions (60.5 depth/59 table) to the GIA (59 depth, 61 table)
- The AGL stone has only one inclusion noted on the top right of the table but several feathers on the underside, where the GIA stone has many pinpoints.
- I like having the AGL light report.
- the AGL stone is scoring 1.3 on the HCA report, and the GIA is scoring 3.5. Just this alone is really pushing me towards the AGL stone but wanted to get this groups thoughts.
- The GIA stone is noted as Hearts and Arrows. Not sure how close it is to a true H&A since I haven't seen it yet.

Since I'm not an expert and haven't seen these stones in person yet can someone tell me which of these is the better diamond?

Hey,
Nobody answered this thread; Was hoping to get some opinions.
Anybody?
 
I would go with the second option, personally. However, I would check to see if it is eye clean or if the feather can be hidden under a prong.
 
Either stone can be very nice, but the AGS stone is a better bet if you can't get pictures of the GIA one.

Safer, if not better.
 
I Would go for the second stone as long as it is eyeclean..
