Just wondering if someone with more knowledge on this than I can offer some advice. I recently received the following diamond:
2.00 carat Princess Cut - EGL
Color: F
Clarity: I1
6.91X6.77X5.02
Depth: 72.6%
Table: 67%
Crown: 13%
Pavillion: 56.2%
Girdle: Medium Polished
Polish: VG
Sym: G
Flour: None
First things first, the stone looks GREAT! The color is fantastic, bright white and the brilliance is WAY more than what I expected!! The cut quality is far beyond my expectations. The only problem is, is that being an I1, I can see a couple inclusions under very bright sunlight with the naked eye. They are white and kind of to the side, and so to me they are not terrible, but I started to wonder if I could get a diamond of the same size and great cut but with a little higher clarity level. Here is what I found:
1.69 Carat Princess cut - EGL
Color: J
Clarity: VS1
7.02X6.64
Depth: 69%
Table: 68%
Polish: VG
Sym: VG
Flour: Slight
Could this be a better stone for me? I know a lot of this has to do with personal tolerances and preferences, and I am not a total expert and do NOT have a very picky eye. As my girlfriend says, if it is big and sparkly, it is great! This will have better clarity but worse color, but could the color be helped a little because of the slight flourescence?? My only other worry is that the "sparkle factor" (how is that for a scientific term?) will not be there as much as the first or maybe it will be better? It is rated as an "ideal" cut just like the one that I have so I guess it would be ok. I guess my only worry with the second stone would be the color difference, but hopefully the slight flourescence would take care of some of that. Thanks for any opinions that you might have or advice!!
