I'm currently looking at 2 diamonds and would like some opinion and advise on each.
Stone 1: Asscher cut, 1.51 Carat, D, SI1, Excellent cut, no fluorescence. Asking $11,900.
Stone 2: Asscher cut, 1.68 Carat, F, VS2, Excellent cut, no fluorescence. Asking $13,600.
The obvious first questions are - Which stone and is it a good deal?
One other item that I'm looking for some insight into is the fact that I've found it very difficult to find stones with a clarity grade better than a VS2 in the carat size I'm looking for, 1.5 - 1.75. Is this common? Are stones in the upper grades of color and clarity difficult to find in this carat size? Should SI1 stones be avoided?
I appreciate everyone's help.
