Please help me decide between these!

Hi Everybody!

I'm having a very difficult time deciding between these two diamonds.

I'm very new to everything about diamonds and even to this forum. I've been told by Bluenile's customer service that these two diamonds are very similar side by side, but I'm wondering how they could be because of the difference in fluorescence and color. Which diamond do you think is the better purchase? I'm in NJ and Bluenile doubts that the Strong fluorescence will have any affect, but I want to make sure I make the correct purchase for my future wife. Should I save the $300 and go for the F color Strong Fluorescence?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Use the HCA tool to eliminate stones that may perform poorly. Stones scoring 2 or under are worth a further look.
I would not buy an SI1 stone from bluenile, so I would up the clarity to VS1/2 and come down on color G/H to stay in the
same price range.

Colors that are only 1 shade off (like D and F) are often hard to tell apart. Fluorescence rarely affects a stone except in
strong sunlight.

It seems like you still need to do some learning before you buy so you might want to check out the Pricescope Knowledge section.

We will be happy to recommend some well cut stones for you to make it a little easier for you. Budget around $2800?

These 2 look promising...
