Thanks to all of you for being so helpful! I have narrowed down my choices to the two options listed below and I cannot decide which one. Since this is my first diamond purchase, I would love some help. Both of these diamonds have fantastic cuts (H&A) and are relatively the same price. Now the issue that I have with option 1 is that the cloud inclusion is right in the middle of the table (see AGS report) but the vendor states that it is eye clean and I believe them. The issue with option 2 is with the color. The clarity is great as a VS1 but the color is an I. So if you were in my shoes, which would you choose? Better clarity VS1 vs. SI1 or better color, H vs. I. Thanks in advance!
