Help on selecting a center stone

[Perfectdiamond]

Hi,

I am looking for a center stone for a pendant. I am looking at two diamonds now but not sure which one is a better choice. I would apprecaite it if you could give me some opinions. Thanks a lot.

Juding from the certificate, the first stone has some cloud on it. However, it seems to have an "Excellent" cut on GIA certificate while the second one is "very good."

(1) 1.01 I SI2 61.1% 58% GIA; Gdl: med-stk; symmetry: vg; polish: ex; fluorences: no; 6.43x6.50x3.95; $3,367

(2) 0.98 I SI1 61.8% 55% GIA, Gdl: thn - stk Symmetry: vg; polish: gd; fluorences: mb 6.37x6.39x3.94; cul: none--$3,446

Did you use HCA?

Hard to tell without more info - do you have crown/pavilion info?

Hi guys,

Thanks for replying my message. I was too busy to get on pricescope this week. I have more information on the two stones. I will try to download the certificates when I get home.

I have never used HCA before. I will try that as well. Many thanks.
