Tiffany & Co. dilemma: need help selecting 2 stones

[janf]

Hi guys,

Wanted to get some expert opinions on two stones:

1. 2.02 D VS1 round diamond- $57,000
2. 2.04 F VS1 round diamond- $$47,800

Which one would you pick?

Thank you!

The second. The only way you''d EVER see a difference between a D and an F is side-by-side, and I really doubt people will be holding D color stones up to your ring!

Hi Janf and welcome

There isn''t enough info the the choices for me to give you my opinion. The majority of folks around here like to know cut info, crown and pavillion angles etc. to be able to determine how well it''s going to sparkle or if it''s going to be a dud. Is there something specific you want to know about the 2 you posted? Have you seen them? your eyes will be the best judge, which one speaks to you?

The second if I had to choose.

But I would go with something like this:

In your price range but alot more bling.

Neither.

Learn more and shop more.

After that if you STILL want to buy from Tiffany and still are going to chose between those two stones, I''d say get the D.
If you are going to value this type of stone from this type of store just go all the way.
Get the D.

Then again if I had the budget for a Tiffany 2 ct D I wouldn''t be considering a VS1.
Tiffany must have an E or F VVS2 or VVS1, even if you had to be flexible on the size a bit.
I love the low-color, high clarity stones too.

It''s hard to say without seeing both of them. Which one appeals to you the most? I think you may be able to get something nicer from another source for the $$, but if you want a Tiffany ring, I''d say to do your research & choose the ring that you love the most.

There is NO way on earth I''d pay $10,000 extra for the D. The F is white as can be. I hope you choose the F VS1 and then get her a gorgeous diamond wedding band to match. (Or you could pick up one for me with the money I just saved you

It will be a gorgeous ring!

Right, but the problem is maybe there''s more than the color that''s different between the two... maybe the D is an *extra* beautiful cut (Tiffany cuts tend to be beautiful no matter what)? We don''t know.
