help choosing between two diamonds

[engage101]

I am trying to make a decision between these two diamonds... and I cannot make up my mind. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any feedback you can provide. Hopefully this will be the end of my search...

both look like very nice stones. I'd ask for idealscope images of both (and a general image of the G since one is not provided). But I think you need to determine if you are at all color sensitive. In this case I'd probably choose the G because the size difference is really very small and they are both AGS Ideal stones (and I have an I color AGS stone).

There are better experts here but to me the second one looks good...hard to say about the first one but looks good on paper. All else being equal I'd go with the first one as I'd prefer higher color to higher clarity ( as long as eye clean).

Should I be worried about the large feather on the second one?

Also, can anyone here extract any information in terms quality from the light performance map in the AGS report?

With idealscope image, you have enough info for a round.

The feather is not even the grade setting inclusion, so it is better than VS1 level, nothing to worry about.

thanks a lot for all the suggestions. I have requested the idealscope for both of them and I have been training myself for the last couple of hours to understand idealscope images better. Let's see how it goes.

You can also post the IDEALSCOPE images and people here can help you
