HELP me decide between these two diamonds

Both look visibly yellow to me. Do you care about them being eye clean? The first stone seems to have more visible inclusions
 
Diamond one does not have great angle combinations and those inclusions aren't helping anything. I would avoid the first diamond. A really well cut diamond will tend to minimize the 'color'. The second diamond's angles could work but again, those inclusions will be visible. You could ask for an ASET or IS of the second stone to see it's performance if the inclusions don't bother you. Both diamonds are IGI so be aware that the color grade could be off quite a bit from a GIA stone. Ie, that K could be a GIA M, that I could be a GIA K.

I think both stones have inclusions that will be visible to you. Is that a problem?

Obviously you have to balance the 4 C's with your budget (we all do!).
 
They are both on hold, so I can't see the budget. But, I'm not a huge fan of either. Angles on 1 are not great and #2 will have very noticeable inclusions.

I'm not generally a personal fan of K diamonds. I like G/H (I in super-ideal), some L and then below L. If you don't mind tint, I say just GO for it. I find K and L can be a bit neither here nor there. But, there are a number of gorgeous K diamonds here on PS. I also prefer a brown tone vs. yellow (totally personal).

Can you post your max budget and maybe we can help find some options?

What do you think
3.01 has HCA of .9

3.29 has HCA of 1.4

I like price point on K but afraid of yellowness

Just need some opinions Thanks !

Neither of these are viable for consideration. I know your heart is set on 3ct. You’re going to have to drop in weight, drop in color, or increase your budget to get a diamond that’s well cut, and eye clean.

and i thought finding a puppy was hard!!!!
 
You don’t have to keep making threads for diamonds you find, if you stick to one thread it will help people see what you are trying to find and even possibly help you find this unicorn you are searching for
 
I agree with KKJohnson. I had no idea you had so many threads started about the same thing with a lot of us recommending the same stones. You need to figure out your wants, budget, & colour tolerances then move on from there. I'm not sure you are that concerned about the stone being eye clean, which is totally your preferences since the stone will be worn by you. Many here are trying to help you but what you want, & what you can find in your budget are not the same thing, even on a board with the most savvy diamond shoppers on the planet.
;))
 
Would help if you stick to one thread...

If you are up to $20k, this one might be a good option. You can hide the main inclusion under a prong and hopefully the rest of the stone is "clean enough".
I personally would rather look at a slightly tinted, clean stone than a D-G with a big black carbon spot in it (but that is me and it is personal preference).

Did you get info on the four mines one? Frankly neither of these two are attractive and I wouldn’t call that a K.
