hi PS members!
I have finally picked 2 stones, and need help finding which is better.

i had originally purchased the 1.61, but talking to my girlfriend more and she wants something in the 1.8ish range. So I found that 1.89. Idealscope images are below. Any comments please?????

First image is for the 1.61, and the image on the bottom is the 1.89.

Both are triple x, but one is G and other is H rated. With different clarity as well. Please help me choose

I like the first one better just based on the IS. Are there other choices?

The 1.89 is quite a bit bigger. Nice.

I prefer VS1 better than VVS2. If you are buying it for you girlfriend than I would suggest you to buy 1.89 carat H-VS1. I find it better than the other one.

hi everyone!
Here's another one I was looking at...

http://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/2.06-carat-h-color-si1-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-233562

I noticed that the original one i had purchased is better in regards to the idealscope image. I had it sitting in my safe deposit box for almost a month, until I found out she wanted a minimum of at least 1.8 on her ring finger to get her more coverage.

Sooo, i found that 1.89. Pricing is roughly $4.5k more, but it's definitely worth it in size i guess. I'm just worried that the new rock will not be as nice. Or maybe I'm looking too much into it. The 1.61 G was beautiful. I had it set on a reverse tapered 6 prong setting. Im hoping that the 1.89 will be just as nice, but in the H color and lower clarity rating.

Maybe it's my mind that's messing me up. lol. Any input will greatly be appreciated!

Also, I noticed that the images are totally different in color. One is more deep red, and the other is more pink. And a lot more light leakage. Im hoping it doesn't affect anything too much

I prefer # 1

is there too much light leakage from the 2nd stone?
