Opinions and help with 2 diamonds please!! :-)

[samson01]

I am making progress on the ring front and am now at the stage where I have to choose a diamond. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I really don't know what to look for in the Ideal Scope.

Also, any comments on the inclusions would be appreciated too...are there more favourable inclusions than others?

1st diamond
1.5 carat G/Si1 (eyeclean)
XXX Medium blue flu
Depth 61.7%
Table 56%
Crown angle 35 degrees
Pav angle 40.8 degrees
HCA 1.5
Inclusion on the table about 7pm

2nd diamond
1.532 carat G/Si1 (eyeclean)
AGS 0 Neg flu
Depth 61.8%
Table 54.9%
Crown angle 34.8 degrees
Pav angle 40.8 degrees
HCA 1.5
Inclusion at 9pm...they said it could be covered by a prong but is this still quite considerable? Would it affect integrity of diamond?

Any help would be appreciated...there is a considerable difference in price between the two diamonds.

Did you black-out the vendor name on the second set of pictures?

They both look great.

Anybody else?

Also, is one better than the other? Why is there a light circle in the middle of the first ideal scope? Is that bad?

Slight leakage may not be visible to the eye. With these two, I would go with whichever is cleanest from the top and the sides. Although I will tell you that a GIA G with fluoro may appear a little whiter than an AGS G with no fluoro.

Unfortunately I'm not able to view the diamonds in person as I live overseas.

Hi,

You can always ask for a gemologists feedback from the diamond's owner.

Also don't forget to ask for return policy and upgrade options.
