Is one of these better than the other?

[PuddinheadMcGee]

I''m tentatively starting my search for a pair of 1ctw studs (I had to get my ears repierced for this and I can''t take my lovely surgical steel hoops out for another month...I don''t want to buy the earrings too soon and not be able to return if I don''t like them on but if I find the right pair then I''m hoping the jeweler will hold them for me).

The numbers on these two stones are similar, as are the prices, but they''re from different vendors (one is James Allen, the other is Whiteflash). Is one stone ''better'' than the other or are they so similar that the only real thing to base the decision on is the vendor''s policies? I''d obviously have to find a matching stone at the same jeweler, but one stone is at least a place to start. Is it possible to tell just from these numbers?

Thanks so much for looking, and any advice is greatly appreciated!

Would have to see IS and Hearts images for a final decision, but just based on the posted numbers, both are excellent diamonds.

Ditto, both look promising from the numbers.

Thritto.



Tables are similar, and you won''t see that spread difference.
