Preference between two ACA diamonds

[bigtown]

I was hoping to get some opinions or a preference between two stones I''m looking at from Whiteflash. I just e-mailed them to see if the SI2 stone was eye clean and they already told me the SI1 stone was eye clean. If the SI2 is indeed eye clean, which one would be preferred by everyone here?

no doubt, if the si2 is eye clean, i would go for that.

I''m leaning toward that one too if it''s eye clean since it will face up bigger. Hopefully I''ll hear something back from them soon and I can act on it today.

I''d also go for the F, SI2.....alll day long!

I just found out that the SI2 stone isn''t eye clean so I might end up going with the SI1. Too bad. Was the other one that much better or was it simply due to the fact that it was an F color and a larger diameter?

The color and diameter were better. But I''d never consider a stone that wasn''t eyeclean, so I''d for sure go with the other stone.
