[twobarefeet]

Hi guys

Ive received 2 diamond images from my private jewellers and would love to get your thoughts
Diamond A looks almost flawless abeit alittle smaller at 0.9c, whereas Diamond B looks bigger at 0.93c but has visible flaws and loss of light return and lower HCA scores. Price difference between the 2 aren't huge but what do you think is a better

Diamond A:

Diamond B:

Option 2 - ideal proportions and it is a whole .1mm larger in the diameter, that to me is a noticeable difference. It also has better clarity, but he clarity is pretty comparable. What is the budget for this purchase?

what about the clarity characteristics? Diamond A has feathers vs B that has cloud, crystal and needle..which sounds scary! Price wise the difference is only 150 USD

Diamond B is graded a VS1 vs. Diamond A as a VS2. The inclusions in diamond b should not be an issue in a VS1 graded stone. Diamond B has better numbers, better clarity and is larger. For $150 more, I'd definitely be choosing Diamond B!

The more inclusions that make a particular grade, the smaller they are, so you shouldn't be afraid of the inclusions. This is a VS1 stone, there is nothing to worry about. $150 is a very small price to pay for better clarity and a larger size!
