Can some kind soul advise on the difference between the 2 IS images? Why is one lighter than the other?
Is it due to the diamond quality or the condition which the images are taken? Thk.

The lighter IS pic does seem to have a little leakage- I wouldn't buy it, Id go for a more crisp image like the second one.
Under a carat you can drop down a little in color and clarity, its not as noticeable (you can then in turn get more weight)-- but if you like the idea of having a colorless stone- by all means

those two stones are soo very similar...it's a toss up. i would go with the larger one.


danielb, there is no leakage in the first image. that was a different lighting set up that they used prior to the current one so it looks different is all. both stones are of the same high quality.
