Hello
I am having really tough time comparing and choosing between the following two diamonds and would love your honest opinion between the two -- which would you go with?. Same color (I), clarity (VVS1), cut (EX), and symmetry (EX). The only difference is the carat weight (1.91 vs. 1.80) and the price difference is roughly $100.
1) http://www.gia.edu/report-check?reportno=2175854000
- HCA score of 1.1 (using average number from SARIN report)
- HCA score of 1.3 (using the rounded numbers from the GIA certificate)
- Hearts view revealing hearts are not so symmetric after all (having some doubts).
vs.
2) http://www.gia.edu/report-check?reportno=2171895203
- HCA score of 0.9 (using the rounded numbers from the GIA certificate)
- No SARIN report available for this diamond.
- Hearts and Arrows image available (https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/1.80-carat-i-color-vvs1-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-2209482)
I have already purchased the first diamond but still have about a week left to change my mind. Based on reading many posting on the web regading cuts and symmetry, I feel that diamond #2 could be a better choice (or am I incorrect here)? Am I being foolish here to discard diamond #1?
Your help is greatly apprecaited.
