Hi Guys-First off, great site! Although I am most definitely a diamond novice, I have picked up quite a bit of knowledge in reading these posts.
Anyway, I am down to two rings on Blue Nile and need some help trying to assess whether it would be worth spending an additional $3k for a round with slightly better dimensions. They both grade out well on HCA (~1.3) but the one that is $3k more has better dimensions at first glance. Outside of seeing thumbnail images of both of the rings, I unfortunately don't have access to any other photos prior to purchase. Based on strictly the dimensions below, are there any other factors which would cause the price disparity? Any other specs would which be cause for concern? Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!
