Which diamond is the better of the two?
 
#1 for sure! Disregard #2!!!
 
Whys that?
 
On #2, the grade setting characteristic is listed as Cloud. That most likely means on the table. Now, it is a VS1, so it could be very small. However, since we don’t have a plot because it if under 1 ct., we don’t know where it is. With that said, you can actually call GIA to get more info about the grading of that stone. Also, I definitely do not like the 60% table, period, and also paired with a 14% crown height. You are going to lose fire and also you will have a flat top appearance of the stone. The pavilion angle is also too steep. Also, #1 stone is D color and that’s fabulous! There is a slight difference between D & E down to F.
 
So in your opinion I shouldn't even bother with the vs1 stone?
 
In my opinion, yes. However, if you want to run both stones through the HCA you should. The other stone does have a small cavity at the girdle edge. So you should be aware of that. However, I do not thing it should be an issue given the stone is a VS2 but you should discuss with the vendor. Who is the vendor? Let them do their job and sell you the stone. Ask them a million questions until you are satisfied. This is a lot of money (especially with the D!) so let them work for the sale.
Do you have any images?
 
I dont. It's a jeweler in the diamond district in NYC. I have to go see them still
 
Then by all means go! Let us know how it goes!
 
The poor cut on the second stone would make me more nervous than a cloud at a VS1. Pass on the second stone.

What price range are you looking in? We might be able to suggest some stones.
