Please help me make the final decision. WF ACA or GOG?

Hello everyone!

I posted here a couple weeks ago asking for recommendations for a diamond. I've narrowed my options down to 2 diamonds. Please let me know what you think!

I prefer the smaller table and angle proportions of the WF diamond, that would be my choice, but both are beautiful!

Hard choice between best cut or slightly larger size. I value cut first, but do you think she'd prefer size or best cut?

I'm with Simone, in this instance, the WF diamond would be my choice if eye clean to your specifications.

shine and fire is the number 1 priority.

WF has confirmed it's eyeclean 6 inches away, both from top and side views.

Not sure if this additional information might help with the comparison.

WF sent me a comparison picture between 3 stones with the one I like in the center:


GOG made a comparison video between an Ascendancy H&A diamond and the diamond they found me(on the right):

Ok, good, thank you.

The WF stone would be my front runner personally, both are lovely but the WF diamond in this instance has the edge for me. Unless you'd prefer to get over the 1.5 carat mark then the GOG diamond is the way to go.

I'd check the upgrade policies between the two vendors also in case that might ever be an option in the future.

Thanks Simone, diamondseeker, and Lorelei! I've decided to go with the WF one. Gonna put it in a WF Elegant solitaire setting. Will be back with actual ring photos!

Great choice! I can see the H color in the 1.44 is whiter than the 1.51 on the right! In fact, it looks as white or whiter than the G on the left, so maybe it is a high H! I like the setting, too! Can't wait to see the pictures!
