Hi everyone!!!

I was wondering whether I could have some opinions on these two diamonds. I have been looking online for the last couple of months and almost gave up so now I've enlisted the help of a local dealer (who specialises in finding eye clean SI1/SI2 diamonds).

I have narrowed it down to two. I haven't seen them in real life, and I might put a deposit down to get them shipped in based on your opinions. The vendor has stated that he only sells eye clean diamonds with no grey, green hues or milkiness.

1. Round Brilliant 2.06ct F SI2 EXEXEXF Measurements: 8.16-8.19x5.02mm
AUD$25,410.00 inc.GST

HCA: 0.9 Excellent - within TIC range
Light Return - Excellent
Fire - Excellent
Scintillation - Excellent
Spread - Very Good

Depth - 61.3
Table 56%
CA - 33.5
PA - 40.8

Vendor prefers stone 1. States that it is a much cleaner stone with better proportions and light return.

I originally liked stone 1 as well, but now that I have the images, I am now concerned that there may be too much leakage under the table and (to me) the ASET and idealscope doesn't look as great as stone #2. I'm also concerned that stone #2 may not be eye clean (I have hawk eyes)

My requirements to the vendor were:
MUST have incredible SPARKLE!!!
Excellent/Ideal cut
Colour D-F
1.8 carat minimum
Clarity - Don't care, as long as its eye clean
Fluorescence - None to faint
Budget - ideally around AUD$25k, but $30k max (including 10% GST)


Your opinions will be much appreciated :D
Thank you!!
 
I agree with your thoughts. Perhaps the vendor could put together a video comparing them SxS? that way you will be able to see if you can see the inclusion or see leakage.
