Need some advise

[soliduz]

I am in the market for a rock to put in a 6 prong tiffany type setting. Like everyone else I want to get as close to the 1ct without spending the money. Ive narrowed it down to I si1-si2 Ex cut and somewhere between 0.80 to 0.89 for affordability. I have been presented with these 2 by a friend of a friend in the biz who I have been dealing with.



Shape Size Color Clar Cut Pol Sym TotalPrice Fluor. Depth Table Meas.

Round 0.80 I SI1 EX EX EX $2,924 N 61.8% 56% 5.96-5.97x3.68
Round 0.85 I SI2 EX EX EX $2,763 F 60.8% 57% 6.11-6.13x3.72

The HCA for the 0.85 was Ex Ex Ex Vg 1.0 and HCA for 0.80 was Vg Vg Vg Ex 1.8

Do you think the inclusion on the 0.85 would be very noticeable with the naked eye? Which seems better for the price?

Is the second set of pictures the .8, can you post the angles.

The inclusion in the 0.85 ct diamond has the potential to be visible due to it being dark and up on the table. I cannot make out much for the 0.80 ct diamond since part of the picture is cut off.
