Hello,
I'm new but I've been lurking for a long time and I thank you for this incredibly helpful community.
I've finally decided to propose to my girlfriend and I'm looking for a diamond in the 1ct range.
I've decided to buy from CBI and I'm sure all their diamonds are very nice, but not being able to see them in real life (I live abroad) I need help comparing two options and make sense of the various images/angles.
These are the two stones I'm considering:
1.01 H VVS2

1.13 I VS2
At this moment I don't want to consider price/color/clarity but only the more technical stuff (angles and images).
For example the Light Performance Map in the two grading reports is very different: in the "hearts" image the 1.01 border is all red, while the 1.13 is more greenish.
Also the angles are a slightly different and the first diamond has a larger table.
What do you think? Which one would you choose? Am I obsessing over nothing like I think?
Thank you very much
