I am trying to choose between two very similar stones. One is a 1.1Ct with a 6.66 mm diameter and the other is a 1.02Ct with a 6.51mm diameter. Would the difference in size be noticeable?
Yes I *definitely* see a size difference in a 1c vs a 1.15c so I am sure a 1.11c vs a 1.02c would be noticeable. You are talking an extra .10c and .15mm in diameter which is nothing to sneeze at.
Thanks Mara. It just seems like such a minute difference. So which one should I get: the 1.1 Ct is a F VS2 and the 1.02 Ct is a D VS2. Cut and price is pretty much identical. Is it worth the added cost and trouble to order both and see for myself?
The difference in size would be visible if the diamonds were set beside each other within an inch or so of each other... The difference in color would be detectable from a side view more than a top down view to the untrained eye... If the prices are really close to each other and the proportions are essentially identicle then we'd probably go with the D color ourselves...
I would definitely go for the F VS2 myself. Personally I don't care much about the colorless D marker and it's more expensive too as you can see by the carat weight difference. As a girl, if I knew that I'd gotten a great cut stone, still in the colorless range, VS2 and its .10c bigger than I could have had....that'd be perfect
Bigger is better when it comes to diamonds in my eyes, and I'd be more than willing to give up D for F (it's not like you're talking I here) and get that extra cw. I think it will make a visual difference, and if she sees a friend with a 1c, she will know hers is bigger
I did the HCA calculation. The D scores 1.5 and the F scores 1.1.
Eh.. Rich, I thought DiamCalc and HCA are the same thing, but now I've read that you actually need special software to do a DiamCalc? Well, thanks for offering to do that. Here are the complete specs.
