Thanks in advance for the help! Really appreciate this community; this has been so helpful during this journey.

I've narrowed down diamond options to these two choices. Which of the two would be the best purchase?
Would love to hear any alternatives that could be good as well!

GIA reports & ideal scope images are attached:

CaratColorClarityCutDepth %Table %GirdleCuletPolishSymmetryCrown oPavilion oStar %Lower Half %Crown %Pavilion %Price
1.01IVS1Ex61.655T-MNExEx34.540.8507515.543~$4800
1.07IVS2Ex61.856M-STNExEx34.540.850801543~$4800

I've asked James Allen consultants and they replied that 1.01 diamond looks to have more fire but no noticeable difference when you look at them; however, the 1.07 one is more worth to buy with same price and bigger size.

Please advise which one is better as I am not sure how difference in terms of brilliance / fire / sparkle between the 1.01 & 1.07 diamond according to the above proportions and the ideal scope images; although I have read many materials through the internet and this forum.

1.01

Thanks for the suggestion and help!
 
Can you link to the JA page so we can see videos?
 
Nevermind...just saw links!

Edit...I personally think the 1.01 looks better under the table and just looks like a crisper stone (not sure if its the photog or not). Aset is showing no
leakage under the table. I understand wanting to take the tradeoff for a little more size though.

Totally agree. I prefer the 1.01.
 
Thanks. Is the 1.01 diamond a good one to choose, or should I search again for better choice?
 
I like the 1.01. I'm generally not a fan of paying for VS1, but the stone looks good.
 
1.01 definitely
