I've finally narrowed my search to two diamonds that pretty much fit exactly what I've been looking for. Both diamonds are Round brilliant, ideal cut, GIA certs, SI1 (confirmed eye clean by trusted source), and both are right around the same price. Also, both diamonds have excellent polish, excellent symmetry and strong blue fluorescence (which I'm okay with).
The first diamond is a G color and scores a 2.5 on the Holloway Cut Advisor.
Table: 56%
Depth: 62.2%
Crown: 35.5
Pavilion: 40.8
Measurements: 7.53 x 7.59 x 4.7mm
The second diamond is an H color and scores a 0.9 on the HCA.
Table: 57%
Depth: 61.7%
Crown: 35.0
Pavilion: 40.5
Measurements: 7.49 x 7.53 x 4.63mm
Both seem like good options, just trying to weigh the G vs H color against the 2.5 vs 0.9 HCA scores.
Any insight or opinions would be much appreciated. Thanks!
