Hi I am trying to decide between two similar sized diamonds priced 28k and 34k please help me decide if the 2nd stone is worth the price premium or if I am overpaying in general and there are better options out there!

First Diamond ($28k)
Weight 2.04
Color E
Clarity VS2
Depth 61.6
Table 56.9
Crown 35.5
Pavilion 40.6







Second Diamond ($34k)
Weight 2.02
Color F
Clarity VVS2
Depth 61.5
Table 56
Crown 34.5
Pavilion 40.8

may I ask who graded these two stones, especially the first one?

Between the two, I will take E VS2, if truly eye clean.

I do not know who the vendor is, but if you are considering F VVS2, I rather drop the clarify couple grades and go with GOG Ascendency or WF ACA and get better cut+protection on my investment.

I do not shop diamonds at this price range, but this is what I would do if I am spending 30k on a colorless diamond.
