Help between 2 diamonds

[forereal]

I''m still looking for the right diamond and have been looking at these 2. Could you guys share your opinion, is one better than the other? Also, for the price, is there anything else I should change, maybe the clarity or color? Also, as of right now, i''m assuming they are both eye clean.

1st one, $6,778

I would go for the first one.I''m not to good with depth and whatnot. It seems like you would mostly be paying for that .03 though. I''m sure alot of the more experienced diamond buyers in here will help you out big time though!

Both beautiful diamonds, I would start the selection process by checking if these diamonds are eyeclean to your standards, ask the good folk at WF to evaluate them for you. If they are both eyeclean then see which one fits your budget better.

I agree with the ladies. I would check to see if both are eyeclean, and if the first one is, I''d pick that one. It''s a bit less, but just as pretty, and facing up the same size.

The 1st one is a 0.7 on the HCA and the 2nd is a 1.1. Does this have any affect to the look of the diamonds?

 

[Ellen]

No, they are both going to be great performing stones.

I think both stones are gorgeous, they are ACAs so you shouldn''t have a problem. The colour is great (I love the colourless stones) and if eyeclean, they should be winners, good clarity as this grade is cheaper but mostly still eyeclean, so good way to save money.

As for the price difference, maybe one stone is more eyeclean than the other, and that is contributing to the price? I would check with WF as to which one they this is the better stone and go with that one.

Don''t forget pics!!!
