I''m wondering if I could get some guidance on a purchase.
I have two diamonds to choose from (see below). As you can see, the one with the better HCA score (0.3) is smaller (1.07)and more expensive. Is the smaller stone still a better value because of its great HCA score, or am I just paying for a level of clarty (vs1) that I may not really need? Also, How much difference is there visually between a diamond with an HCA score of 2 vs. one w/ an HCA score of 0.3?
Thanks for any advice!
