HELP! Choosing one out of these two

[Lenovo1128]

Hi Expert apprasers,

These two have the same price. Could you let me know which one is relatively better in terms of brilliance? And why? Thanks!

I would choose the 1.8 G VS2 if this is all the information I had. But have you asked for ASET or idealscope images? Because that is what we need to see in order to tell about light return or leakage.

Thanks! Am really puzzled ...

Aset images are not available for both. They claimed that the stones are not in the NY office

 

[diamondseeker2006]

Yeah, JA is owned by a diamond supplier that has stones at cutters all over the world. That is becoming a problem more often to not be able to get the images. The 1.9 diamond looks pleasing from the video, but those numbers are not as safe as the other stone without seeing light return images. Plus, I just prefer VS2.

Also, the 1.91 has a black crystal right smack in the middle of the table and being an SI1 is probably not eye clean. I know that even when I zoom completely out I could see a tiny black speck in the center so that would also eliminate it for me.

I agree, the SI1 doesn't look eye clean from the picture. I'd pass on it. The other may be worth bringing in to obtain an ASET.

Thank you all very much.
