Need advices for these two diamonds

[1l0v3diam0nd]

Hi Everyone - I am a long time lurker and have been reading posts on this forum for a while! I have seen a lot of stories where people get help here (kuddos to @Kim N and @DejaWiz) and I am hoping I can get some advices now too! I have my eyes on the below two diamonds. Both have H&A on the cert. Diamond 2 is 2 color higher, one clarity lower, 0.27 carat bigger, but also costs $1,400 more. Looking at just the proportions, it seems like Diamond 2 performs better. But vendor says he would pick Diamond 1 over Diamond 2. Please let me know what do you think about these two diamonds and which one you think is better. I will try to post the videos of both stones. Thank you and have a great thanksgiving!

I like the look of Diamond 1 better because Diamond 2 has a fairly big inclusion on the table.

thanks Kim. Do you think diamond 1 is a well cut stone based on the ASET and IS? or I should look for a better performing stone?

It's not perfectly cut--not a super ideal--but it's still a well cut stone. It's entirely personal preference whether the cut is "good enough" for you.

Hello and welcome to PriceScope, 1l0v3diam0nd!

Diamond 1 because of the inclusion in diamond 2.

The advanced images need to be retaken since they are off center and skewing the results.
