Hi all!
I finally received my idealscope images and a gemolosgist review back from JA, and I'm still split between the two of them. I'm going to be setting the diamond into this setting: http://www.jamesallen.com/engagement-rings/halo/14k-white-gold-twisted-pave-halo-engagement-ring-item-41065 and with the side stones being G-H in color, I'm wondering what the colors will appear to look like (like if the E center stone will stand out more since it's a whiter color, or if it will stand out in a bad way). I want to make sure the ring looks absolutely perfect, and I want it to be as lively as possible. Any and all help is much appreciated. I'm so glad I found this website before I made any purchases!

371339 - .73 ct E-VS2 ($3,430): The gemologist states that this is a true E color diamond that faces up very white. It is brilliant and fiery with excellent light return and cut proportions and actually has the most life of the two. He also commented that the medium fluorescence does not negatively impact the light return or the overall look of the diamond.

402274 - .77 ct H-VS2 ($3,380): Being a true H color, this diamond faces up white but is visibly warmer when compared side-by-side to the E. Its brilliance and light return is very good, offering excellent fire and cut proportions. He mentioned that it does face up slightly larger than the E in the event that is important to your purchasing decision.
