Hello.
First of all, thank you to everyone who has contributed to this forum. This is absolutely a great resource for someone like myself who had no idea about diamonds.
I am looking for a 1 carat round for my girlfriend of 6 years
. I have come upon the following two ACAs. Please let me know if there are any concerns with the numbers below or the pictures in the link (sorry it doesn't seem like WF lets me copy pictures), and which one you would prefer? I guess what I'm really worried about are the crystal and/or cloud inclusions near the center of the stone, although I have confirmed that they are both eye clean. WF also noted that if put side to side, she would have difficulty picking which stone is which without the use of a loupe. I know I'm just being nit-picky at this point since both should be superb stones from what I've learned here but I want to get the best for my girl since she has put up with so much

Pavilion angle 40.9

I have also been browsing around the BG Signature stones, which go for several hundreds above the WF prices based on similar 4Cs. I know this has been discussed over and over again, but do BG stones really command the premium? The numbers are fairly similar, with very small differences ( ~0.01 percent or ~0.1 angle at times) in some of the measurements. Would the performance of the diamonds vary that greatly?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
