I''ve narrowed it down to these two choices. My WhiteFlash rep said both are eyeclean and even though the larger one is an I it will still face up beautifully/bright because of the ideal cut.

Thanks! I hope to place my order later today!

Both are lovely and cut well, you really can''t go wrong here. My personal preference would be for the I/SI stone because it will definitely look larger and will still be a very white and bright diamond.

You can pick and choose either one, both are great stones. If you like size, the first one is a very nice option. The I is still white and gives you more size (almost 0.5mm difference). If you are more colour sensitive, the G is a great performer too.

yea, the old size vs. color conundrum. I recommended the I stone to you so I'd have to say that would be my choice. Were you able to determine if size or color was the priority for your lady?

What is her finger size? that info might help too.

Being rather color sensitive, I would choose the G stone. But I do agree that you should consider whether your GF would prefer better color or bigger size.

I posted this on another thread, but it applies here too. This should give you an idea of the size difference visually.

Thanks! That chart is helpful.

I''m consulting with her sister and her close friends. She''s not very picky and trusts my judgement, so I don''t really think I could go wrong either way. It''s just nice to see what the consensus is among all the diamond enthusiasts

Both are well cut. I would go with the I SI1 because it will definitely look larger. Even though you said they are both confirmed as eye clean, knowing all those inclusions are there in the G SI1 would bug me!

I just noticed the I SI1 is marked as sold! I hope you''re the one who bought it!

I am...thanks for all of your help!

Haha...thanks. I''ll gladly post the pics once Whiteflash provides them. I worked with Jamie and Sheerah, and they were both very helpful. The estimated ship date is July 19, but I''m hoping I can get it sooner than that.
