Hello experts,
I am looking for a diamond ring to propose to my lovely girl friend next month. I'm a newbie so I have to ask for your help in deciding which of the following two diamonds, is the keeper:
== First One ==
Carat: 0.57
Cut: Excellent
Color: E
Clarity: VS2
Depth %: 61.2
Table %: 56
Crown: 35
Pavilion: 40.8
Symmetry: V. Good
Polish: Excellent
Girdle: Thin to Medium
Culet: None
Fluorescence: Faint
Measurements: 5.33-5.39x3.28
HCA: 1.5 (ex-ex-ex-vg)
== Second One ==
Carat: 0.564
Cut: Ideal
Color: F
Clarity: VS2
Depth %: 60.8
Table %: 56.5
Crown: 34.6
Pavilion: 40.8
Symmetry: N/A
Polish: Excellent
Girdle: Thin to Medium Faceted
Culet: Pointed
Fluorescence: Negligible
Measurements: 5.34x5.37x3.25
HCA: 1.3 (ex-ex-ex-vg)
The thing concerned me about the 1st one is the "V. Good" symmetry. The bad about the 2nd one is its "pointed" culet. In all the factors, I think cut is more important. As long as, clarity > VS2, Color > G, with good HCA score, it's OK for me. If you know other good choices, I am open to those as well.
Any input is appreciated/welcomed. Million thanks!
