Good Morning. I think I've advanced from browsing to ready to purchase, so I've come here for your expert advice on these 2 diamonds! Both are ~1.3 carats and I know both have higher than preferred crown angles, but they score well on HCA and the price is right. I've also requested ASET or idealscope images and will update when I receive them. I will be previewing one of these diamonds at Steve Padis. Does anyone have any experience with Ritani or Steve Padis?
I am leaning toward Diamond 1 (H Color) because I am a little concerned about medium yellow flour of Diamond 2 (G color) even though 2 has a higher color grade. Both are GIA cert diamonds. I look forward to your thoughts. Thanks.
