I like the 1.084 G, SI2 (the first link) given the higher color but I would need verification that its eye-clean since the plot has a number of inclusions on the table.

The second link is also an SI2 but the table was cleaner and the inclusions were more off to the side. Its also slightly bigger but not noticebaly so and you definitely wouldnt see a difference between G and H.

So those 2 are my finalists but if the sales rep says the first isnt eye clean, then I would def go with the second

Hi Stone_Seeker,

Thanks for ur advice. The sales rep. had just informed that the first and second link is not as eye-clean as the third. Erm...

The first one is more expensive but if its within budget then that is clearly the better selection in my view. Its a grade of clarity better and the report looks really clean so I imagine its also very eye-clean. Plus its colorless so it will look nice and white especially with the with the AGS0 cut rating. That is my pick for sure.

Hum....for some reason I can't open the Idealscope images or the grading reports on those two diamonds, but either should be excellent looking at the proportions, both AGS0 ACA, if both are verified eyeclean then it is up to your colour preferences, budget etc.

My favorite is the 1.02, but I guess that makes me the minority! I don''t think you can go wrong, and WF has a great upgrade policy.

I can''t decide which to opt for.... Is it worth it to pay around $1500 more for two colour and one clarity difference?

That is up to you. If WF has verified the SI2 is absolutely eye-clean then the trade up to the SI1 is probably not worth it. As for color, this is all personal preference. I cant see the difference between an F or an H face up but some people can. $1500 on a $6K diamond is significant. For me its only worth it to get an eye-clean stone and if both are equally eye-clean, I would opt to save the money. Have you seen any F color vs H color stones in person at a jewelry store? That may help.

I had used the Cut advisor to run the test...

1.02 H SI2 scores HCA 0.6
1.03 F SI1 scores HCA 1.1

What does this mean? HCA 0.6 is out of the white-lined box....Is this something that I need to take into consideration?

No need to evaluate using the HCA at this stage, these are both superbly cut diamonds and you have all the info which takes precedence over the HCA and it isn't used for selection anyway. See which you prefer and consider budget and colour etc.

Hi Lorelei,

So glad to see you here!!!

The two diamonds, which one "speak" to you more??

I am more partial to the F color but I skew more to the H colour price tag.

Both are within my budget. Hence, the next time I should look at is which actually sparkle more...but as I am not physically there...its causing headaches here....
