Help Picking a Diamond

[Tsmi448]

Alright I have been on Pricescope reading everything I can but now that it looks like it is time to buy I want to get the boards opinion before I pull the trigger. Here are the two stones I think I have narrowed my search down to:

Diamond One Price-$3,190
.92 Round, I color, SI1 Clarity
Table-57%
Depth-61.5%
Crown Angle- 35.5
Pavilion Angle- 40.6
Polish-Excellent
Symmetry- Very Good

Diamond Two Price $3,038
.82 Round, Color I, SI1
Table-55.16%
Depth- 61.81%
Crown Angle- 34.37
Pavilion- 40.84
Polish- Excellent
Symmetry- Excellent
Also this is considered a Hearts and Arrow.

Thoughts on these two or would you recommend I look for a new candidate? Thanks everyone and I am sure this won''t be the last post is this adventure that is buying the engagement ring.

Welcome to Pricescope!

The diamond from GOG looks great, check with them whether it is eyeclean to your standards - they will have the diamond in house and should be able to tell you easily.

Ditto Lorelei. I''d go with the second one as well. I like that pav/crown angle combo better. Just be sure to ask that it is eye clean to your specification and you should be good to go!

Thanks, I was leaning towards the second one because my girlfriend cares about the "sparkle" than size. Her exact quote "I just want it really shinny" which is nice to hear since I value a good mix of quality and size for my budget. So I am hoping that diamond with the right band will do the trick. Also I have heard good things on here GOG. I know their website says a lot are on vacation now but I wouldn''t want to lose that diamond so someone else doing their homework on Pricescope.

I think there might still be some staff there, give them a call and reserve it!

Tsmi448 you can either hit the reserve diamond button and reserve it or you can shoot them a call they do have skeleton staff there atm and they can help you .

Thanks will do. Just see if you guys know but I can ask when I call do they have a good band selection? I have a rather specific thought on what I would like but from everything I read about them I''m sure they will be more than helpful.
