Hi Chawlam and welcome!

I prefer the first from the info we have, the second has a slightly shallow pavilion angle so an Idealscope image and trusted vendor input would be needed in order to check for darkening of the stone if it is intended for a ring ( obstruction).

Do you have images of both hearts and arrows for the first as it is being sold as h&a?

Ditto above.

 

[chawlam]

If you don''t mind, how much did you pay for the similar diamond. This one is close to $7K, the first diamond in my list.

I will try to get the pics tonight and post it here.

whats more important to you cut or carat weight?

 

[chawlam]

Here is what I liked.. Please Please help in these three options.. Really appreciate all you guys.

I am not sure, if I should go for SI1. Was looking for F color but not able to find anything under $8K with good specs. The first and second diamond looks similar but help needed there as well.. Thanks again

I Love My Sailor :: Not sure, I am so confused whether I should sacrifice cut or color for a bigger size. What are your thoughts?

 

[Lorelei]

If you are unsure, ask Bob from Whiteflash to discuss your selections with you, that could help you narrow the field or choose between them.

Guys.. Help Needed to pick the final one.

They both look good but the second diamond is bigger in size and $700 more, however it is not an ACA and Heart and Arrows.

Does that really make a big difference?
