Hi all! I''ve been lurking here for quite a while and am SO glad I found this site. After doing a lot of research (mainly on PS) my BF and I have started the process of creating a custom e-ring and band from Whiteflash. (A design inspired by partly by a Niwaka design seen online. I''m terribly excited!)

I much prefer a petite design and smallish (less than 1 ct), good quality diamonds. We are about to put a deposit down to start the CAD process and the only thing left to be decided is the stone. (I should probably mention we are looking at round solitaires in a semi-bezel style, with the band being about 2mm in width.)

Perhaps this sounds silly, but we are stuck between two stones that are VERY similar in most aspects that I can tell. I''m really not sure where to go from here and I was hoping you very, very knowledgeable people can give me some pointers :) I thought all I need to know was the 4 C''s...now there are all sorts of aspects of diamonds that I''m totally clueless about. I would appreciate any guidance at all! Thanks :)

Honestly I know very little about the different kinds of certification, scopes, etc. If I leave off any pertinent information let me know and I will rectify it.

This is all info from the WF site.

Option A: 0.616 ct H VS1 Whiteflash ACA Hearts and Arrows Super Ideal Round Diamond

Option B. 0.632 ct H VS1 Whiteflash ACA Hearts and Arrows Super Ideal Round Diamond
http://www.whiteflash.com/hearts_arrows/whiteflash-aca-cut-diamond-2230987.htm

I''m not sure what any of these numbers mean. Is there really any difference between them? Are they worth it?

Hi Sapphire and welcome!

You have picked two excellent diamonds here, I think you could choose either and be happy - well done! If you are having trouble choosing between them ask for Bob or your WF rep to evaluate each and discuss them with you, this might help you decide.
 
Looks good to me.
 
Thank you both! I had already shown these to my WF rep and she said either of these 2 would be good. It's just a matter of deciding between them now...
