Someone Please Help - I am so confused.

[joem711]

Can I please have everyones oppinion? I am very confused about which ring to purchase, and I need to make a decision quick. I have a choice between the following two stones please help:

Both are GIA:

Ring #1
Ct. = 3.19 , Color = I, Clarity =SI2, Cut = Excellent, Culet = None, Flourescents = Strong, Polish = Excellent, Symetry = VG
The Price for this will be $25,000. This ring looks better than the other.
Ring #2
Ct. = 3.02 , Color = H, Clarity =SI2, Cut = VG, Culet = None, Flourescents = None, Polish = VG, Symetry = VG
The Price for this will be $28,000.

Thank you for your time.

"this ring looks better than the other". Why are you confused?

Welcome! You''ll need to get all the numbers off the certs for us to be able to advise you..table, depth, crown angle, pavilion angle, girdle, diameter. Also, have you looked at these stones closely to see if they have visible inclusions? SI2 is a little risky at the 3 ct. size.

I will reply all the information tomorrow.

Thank you, for your help.

We also need the crown and pavillion angles for each diamond to be able to help, these should be on the grading reports.

I have added the crown and pavilion angle. Thank you for all your help.

I'm no expert. I'm anxious for a more knowledable PS'er to respond. I ran both through the HCA, both scored well, but neither falls within the ideal boxes which I'd want to see. I know that a little higher PA is typically preferred around here. Have you confirmed if either stone is eye clean? At first I was leaning towards the larger stone---because it scored ex/ex/vg from GIA, I think the SB flour would be nice to have with the I color, and it's less $. But after running them through the HCA I'm more unsure which is better. As usual, I run over to WF and GOG's websites to see what they have and it's now obvious to me that finding a well-cut 3ct stone under $30k isn't easy....
