Help - Choosing between two diamonds

[xyz12]

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on one of these two diamonds, but am having trouble deciding between two BG diamonds. Both are AGS0 and have great performance. Essentially, I'm torn between size (better clarity) vs. color (lower clarity). Both are in my price range. Also, I think fluorescence is pretty sweet, but no strong preference.

Which would you choose?

I'd take the G. Personally.

Hi xyz,

Tough call, both are superb. If the SI2 is eye clean to YOUR particular standards, then that might be the way to go unless you really want a little extra size and you would enjoy the fluorescence. I think personally, perhaps the ' safer' choice would be the G, if it were for me, it would be the fluorescent J all the way, but when advising I tend to err on the side of caution.

Check very carefully with Brian or Lesley whether the SI2 meets your specifications for ' eye cleanliness' if you haven't already done so, then the choice might be easier.

Two great diamonds, well done!!

I would grab the J. For the negligible difference in price, I would prefer to have a VS stone, over the 1ct mark. With confirmation from the vendor the J faces up white, I don't think you sacrifice anything here by going to the J.

Congratulations and good luck!
