The second one is slightly bigger .785ct vs .752ct ( 5.92x5.94x3.63mm VS 5.84x5.86x3.59mm)
The second one has better clarity VS1 vs SI1
But the second one is LOWER is color G vs F
The second one is slightly more expensive by $600

Which one would you buy?

First stone but my priority is not the same as yours and the specs difference is not visible enough for me to cough out an extra S600, assuming the first stone is eye-clean.

Thanks! I really like the first one you suggested: http://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-2378009.htm

Now I think I need to add this diamond as one of my choices! What do you think?

Yah I also like the F VS1 suggested by slg47. Has a good score in HCA as well.

For me, if I am going for ACA, I am nitpicky about how good is the symmetry, the hearts image and also whether all the arrowheads line up 100% straight. My rationale is since I am paying premium for the cut, might as well select one that fully justifies the price premium.

By the way, is this for your engagement ring? If so, have you checked is this is a good size? If you are not sure, better to get ACA or ES as WF offers lifetime upgrade policy for those diamonds.

Just to share, I initially bought a 0.6 ct but later discovered that it's a tad too small. I am now upgrading to slightly above 1ct. By buying ACA, I have the options to get a bigger stone when my budget allows it. It's great!

The second one.

if you pay by wire transfer the F VS1 premium select is the most expensive..

you will not see the size difference between any of those. In these sizes, you would need excellent visual acuity and an eye for colour to see the difference btwn F & G. I would go for the cheapest F SI1 if eyeclean to your specifications

ETA - it says reserved, I hope it was you!
