Hi everyone,
I'm trying to decide between 2 yellow Diamond e-rings:
1) 1.8 IF fancy vivid yellow, modified cushion.
6.83 x 6.83 x 4.36 mm
Medium Blue fluorescence
TOTAL DEPTH PERCENTAGE 63.8%
TABLE SIZE PERCENTAGE 60%
Polish, very good
symmetry very good
Slightly thick to Thick girdle
2) 1.95 VS1 fancy intense yellow, modified cushion.
7.56 x 6.86 x 4.44 mm
Faint Blue fluorescence
TOTAL DEPTH PERCENTAGE 64.7%
TABLE SIZE PERCENTAGE 62%
Polish excellent
Symmetry very good
Thin to medium girdle
These two rings happen to be carried by the same jeweler, and are $100 apart.
My dilemma: I prefer an elongated shape since my fingers are long, but my boyfriend prefers a flawless stone for the money he's spending - plus he's got an eagle eye for inclusions! We both want as yellow a stone as possible.
We can see 2 black inclusions in the intense stone, one on the side and one in the center, looking (closely, by eye without loupe) from the top. This stone is ever so slightly lighter in color, seems to have slightly white edges (North, South, East, West) under bright light, and seems to both glitter in the inside of the stone as well as throw chunkier light out (yay sparkle). The vivid stone is a perfect square, seems to glitter intensely inside the stone but doesn't sparkle on the outside as much/Throw chunky light out.
Both are beautiful to my untrained eye.
Attached are some pictures.
Could you please help me figure out why they're so close in price?
AND
Which stone would you choose and why?
A decision needs to be made today!
Thank you so much! Looking forward to reading all your responses.
