Hi all.
I am new to this forum, so this question may be asked a few times before but please bear with me and give me your thought on this. I am looking to buy a 1 ctw stud earrings. This will be a kind of investment for me too but I have no plan of selling them any time soon. I've narrowed down what I want to two choices.
First pair is AGS certified diamond with ideal cut (A Cut Above - Hearts and Arrows) I/VS2
DIAMOND SPECIFICATIONS

Table % 55.5 , 55.9
Crown Angle 34.4 , 34.2

Pavilion Angle 40.7 , 40.9
Crown % 15.3 , 15.0

The second pair is GIA certified G/VS1 with excellent cut.
Measurements: 5.08 x 5.10 x 3.20mm , 5.13 x 5.15 x 3.21mm
Depth %: 62.9% , 62.4%
Table %: 55% , 56%

Pavilion Angle 41.0 , 40.8
Symmetry: Excellent , Excellent
Polish: Excellent , Excellent
Fluorescence: None
Clarity characteristic - Cloud, Feather, Needle, Pinpoint in one diamond --- should I be concerned?
Both pairs cost pretty much the same. So my question is which pair should I pick? I want it to look better on my ears and if I ever have to sell at higher price too ><
I've read that with ideal cut (A Cut Above) can make the diamonds look more sparkly/brilliant and whiter than regular excellent cut but is it better to the degree that surpass the next grade?
Which pair would you pick and why? Any thought on this would be greatly appreciate
