Hi, I've been doing a crash course on diamond education on PS over the past few weeks and have really learned alot. I'm close to pulling a trigger on a diamond but would like everyone's advice on which one would be the better buy.
Diamond #1:
1.36 ct/F/VS2/ GIA Triple EX
Dimensions: 7.06 x 7.09 x 4.39
Depth % = 62
Table % = 58
Crown Angle = 35
Pavillion Angle = 41
HCA = 2.5
I have personally seen this diamond at a local B&M store and it's pretty sweet. Granted, this was near the beginning of my diamond journey so I didn't have a lot of experience viewing diamonds.
Diamond #2:
1.54 ct/G/SI1/ AGS000
Dimensions: 7.40 x 7.41 x 4.58
Depth % = 61.7
Table % = 56
Crown Angle = 34.8
Pav Angle = 40.8
HCA = 1.4
This diamond is from GOG so I have not seen this personally. However, on paper, it looks like a superior diamond. Both diamonds are pretty much the same price ($16,000 - $18,000).
So my question is which one would you choose? The first one has better colour and clarity stats, but is smaller and arguably not cut as well. Whereas the 2nd one is larger, arguably cut better, but has lower colour/clarity and I have not seen it in person.
Attached is some pictures of the 2nd 1.54 ct diamond. I don't have any pictures of the 1st.
My budget is <$18,000 so if you can recommend other diamonds, that would be appreciated as well.
Thanks
