Guys, I am way lost in the rabbit hole of diamond shopping. Ideally I want to buy my girlfriend a 2.5 - 2.7c ring with the best possible quality. I just learned about HCA scores today and I am so perplexed as to which way to go. The smaller diamond is 4k more expensive...whereas the 2.70 is $28,853. The 2.70 has strong fluorescence, where as the 2.54 has non. My girlfriend said she would actually prefer a more blue looking diamond than a lot of fire (im not even sure that's how it works).
Given size is the most important thing to me...but without sacrificing true quality. Am I sacrificing true quality by going with the 2.70 over the 2.54?.....or will it not matter? Both diamonds look beautiful on the website magnified 360 scope. The 2.54 I did notice more clear arrows. Really appreciate your help! I've attached the GIA certs and the HCA scores.
