Help me decide between two ~0.9 carat H VS1 ACAs

[Keroberos]

Budget is $6,500. These two are both beautiful; which one is better?

Using the knowledge I've gained by reading Pricescope and other sites, I'm leaning towards the first one (2025).

Honestly I'm not sure there'd be a noticeable difference between them - and since they are ACAs, I am certain either would be a great performing stone.

However, just to throw something out at you - did you look at the WF 0.913ct H-VS2 ACA? Based on the images, I do prefer it over the two you posted... http://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-2937163.htm#

All the stones posted are going to look close to identical in person. In fact, they'd make a great pair of studs! But if I were buying one for myself, I'd probably choose the first one.

Based on the images, I like the one marymm posted best, with the first one you posted a very close second. I can't imagine anyone really seeing the difference IRL though. I'd personally take marymm's, and use the $200 in savings for something else

Great find, Marymm! I prefer this one as well, so I placed my order this morning.

Thanks to everyone who replied.

OP - hooray on finding a fantastic diamond that fits your parameters! Do let us know your thoughts when it arrives.

Oh, and, are you buying it loose, or with a WF setting, or doing a setting locally?
