Hey guys,
I've been reading these forums like a maniac the last two weeks and likely learned more in those 2 weeks than the previous two months of research.
I'm trying to choose between two emerald cut stones and was hoping to have your help. Differences in colour/clarity are immaterial. Carat size is materially different but both face up rather similarly in size. I've been dealing with Ritani and have been thrilled with the customer service and having HD Video available immediately certainly helps.
Which of the two stones would you choose (price is within $200 of each other):
1.35 H VVS2 EX/VG (7.52x5.17x3.50) 64% table 67.8% depth - eye clean
https://www.ritani.com/diamonds/emerald-diamond-1-35-Carat-H-color-GIA-certified/D-JVP676
or
1.21 G VS1 EX/VG (7.33x5.12x3.34) 65% table 65.3% depth - eye clean
https://www.ritani.com/diamonds/emerald-diamond-1-21-Carat-G-color-GIA-certified/D-JV97P0
Additionally, my wife-to-be has what I consider very small fingers (3.75 ring size) - would a 2.5mm band look too wide on her finger? I wanted to get a daintier band (1.6-1.9mm) but I'm worried about durability. I found a nice setting at Ritani and would prefer to do both steps at once but was looking for a bit of advice.
Thanks in advance everyone.
