Hi all. Been lurking this website for awhile now trying to get as much info as I can and honestly, I think this site is extremely helpful.
I''ve been searching for a diamond for an engagement ring for awhile now and basically I''m left with the following 2 choices. I''m hoping someone will have an idea which diamond is better. I''m not able to put them side by side to compare as they''re from 2 different jewellers so I''m hoping someone can lend a helping hand and help me decide base on the specs.
Gemscan
1.52 VS1 F
Ideal Cut, Ideal Symmetry
7.46x7.42x4.54
Table 57%
Depth 60.8%
This stone has flouresence
GIA
1.50 VS1 F
Very Good Cut, VG Symmetry and Good Polish
7.36x7.41x4.54
Table 58%
Depth 61.4%
No flouresence
The price between the two are nominal so really it all boils down to the specs. I know most ppl are more comfortable with GIA certified stones but not GemScan. Plus, I''m not sure how big of an impact the flouresence issue is in the GemScan stone. The jeweller was able to show me the GemScan stone against another stone that had high enough flouresence that it made the stone look milky and dull. So comparatively speaking, the stone with the GemScan specs above did look a lot better than the milky and dull one so I''m thinking the flouresence issue isn''t too bad but again, I''m no expert and can''t really tell.
Thanks for everyone''s help in advance.
