I am trying to decide between these 2 diamonds, which are both around the 2.0ct range:
Diamond #1: Excellent cut (HCA score of 2.3) / E / SI2
Diamond #2: Ideal cut (HCA score of 1.1) / G / SI2
#1 costs $2500 more than #2, but based on the inclusion plots, it also seems to have 2 tiny feathers that run around the edge, which worries me a bit from all that I''ve read about feathers. #2 looks fairly clean, but it does have a big needle running down the middle.
Based on the inclusion plots as well as the color and price difference, which diamond would you guys choose? Would you consider the feathers in #1 to be a big risk? If it makes a difference, I am planning on setting the diamond in a platinum 4-prong setting.
