HELP!!!! I ONLY HAVE 30 DAYS LEFT TO DECIDE!!!

[PA2013]

Hello all! Thanks in advance for the help. I just joined and I find that people on this forum are really nice and helpful and I am extremely grateful.

I recently bought a 1.5ct diamond with the specs below but I feel like as brilliant and bright as it looks, there isn't much sparkle and I'm not sure if that's because of the big table size or not. So I found a 1.52ct with a smaller table size and a better color grade but the clarity is a VS2. I'm afraid the inclusions will be visible to the naked eye. What do you guys think? Stone 2 has a better HCA than Stone 1 but then again I haven't seen it in person. Help me decide please!

The numbers on stone 2 are better. You usually can't see inclusions with a VS2 so I think that you should be fine. You should just ask Blue Nile if it's eye clean and if the fluoro affects it negatively. I know that they go back and ask those questions to the seller of the stone so you don't get the more objective opinion of a gemologist like at James Allen, but it's better than nothing.

I agree, I like the proportions of number two much better as well. Its rare to be able to see inclusions in a VS2, like sortman said you can ask BN to check for you.
