Here are the specs of the 2 diamonds...

Diamond #1:

Cut: GIA Excellent
Color: G
Carat: 1.28
Clarity: VS2

Table: 58
Depth: 61.8

Polish: Excellent
Symmetry: Excellent
Fluorescence: None
Culet: None

Crown Angle: 35 degrees
Pavilion Angle: 41.2 degrees

Measurements: 6.92 - 6.94 x 4.28 mm

HCA Score: 3.7


Diamond #2:

Cut: GIA Excellent
Color: G
Carat: 1.28
Clarity: SI1

Table: 55
Depth: 60.6

Polish: Excellent
Symmetry: Excellent
Fluorescence: None
Culet: Small

Crown Angle: 34 degrees
Pavilion Angle: 40.8 degrees

Measurements: 7.03 - 7.07 x 4.28 mm

HCA Score: 0.9



Both of these diamonds are essentially the exact same price. The SI1 has been checked out by Blue Nile and is deemed to be "eye clean", and I was told the VS2 had been checked (although not entirely necessary since it is a VS2) and it is "eye clean" as well. The only real difference between the 2 diamonds is the clarity, table and depth %, and crown and pavilion angles. Please help!! I am having such a hard time trying to decide!! Is it a complete toss up?? Or is one definitely going to look and appear different than the other to the human eye?? I am not as concerned with all the lab tests that are done of the diamonds, only with how they look to my girlfriend's unaided eyes.

Ah-ha! I suspected due to the depth that the second stone would be larger, and it is!

I always go for VS2 or higher, but in this case, I like the cut measurements better of the second stone, and the size is a little larger. So the second stone would be my choice of these two.
