Hello all,

I need some feedback selecting between two princess cut diamonds. We found two diamonds in our price range and I cannot decide which one is the better deal/value for our money. We were told that both diamonds ideal cuts. The price difference is $1060 between the G/SI2 and H/SI1. There isn't much of a size difference between the two diamonds - the H SI1 is slightly smaller in size but more square.

2.03 H SI1
Polish/Symmetry = Excellent/Excellent
Table - 71%
Depth - 71.1%

2.15 G SI2
Polish/Symmetry = Excellent/Very good
Table - 70%
Depth - 71.8%

The jeweler who has the 2.03 got a hold of the 2.15 and said that while it is a great stone, she doesn't think it is as brilliant as it should be although the bf and I compared them side by side and could not see much of a difference. Any thoughts on which may be a better deal/value. Should I choose color and bigger carat weight over clarity even if the actual size of the stones aren't too far apart?
 
Gosh, it is really impossible to judge from that little bit of information. We'd really need pictures of the stones. Are they graded by GIA or another lab? That is an extremely important factor. It would help for us to see the full reports. How much are the stones?

Here's one for you to compare, but it is an H VS2 (higher clarity than both of those):

They are both GIA certified diamonds. I do have the GIA reports. Is there a more discrete way to exchange info and pricing? I work in the info sec and privacy industry and am very conscious of what I share online and the footprint I leave. I tried to see if I could email you directly but could not find where to do so. If not, I'll let you know through this forum, but thought I'd ask first. Thank you for your patience and your time!
 
The bf said I needed to get over my weird fear of posting info online and try to get as much help with the diamonds as possible :) So here are the two GIA report #s - 1122957907 (G/SI2, $14,060) and 1136360873 (H/SI1, $13k). Your thoughts would be much appreciated.
