What do I do now?

[dneal12]

My diamond search has led me to two diamonds. I am unsure what to do now to decide between the two. Or if I just hold off entirely and wait until something else comes up (I can afford to wait up to 2 more months.

So I thought I would ask what PS thinks of these two diamonds.

Diamond #1:
Carat: 0.86
6.10-6.13
Color: I
Clarity: VS2
Cut: Excellent
HCA: 1.0
Crown Angle: 33.5
Pavilion Angle: 41
Polish: Excellent
Symmetry: Very good
Fluor: none

Diamond #2:
Carat: 0.85
6.04-6.07
Color: I
Clarity: SI1 (eye-clean)
Cut: Excellent
HCA: 1.1
Crown Angle: 34
Pavilion Angle: 40.8
Polish: Excellent
Symmetry: Excellent
Fluor: none

Any advice one which one looks good or what to do next?

Others will ask for pictures or links to the stones you posted. Per your other posts it looks like your total budget is $3,500 and you are looking for a Tiffany like setting. Have you chosen one that you like? If it's just a matter of the stone, please let us know what the stone budget is and your ideal goals (ie size, color, clarity).

When are you planning to propose and where are these through?

Links/idealscope/aset images will be necessary.

My budget is ~$3500, I think I have settled on a $750 setting by Eternity by Yoni, he's got some good reviews on here and his customer service has been superb so far.

Here are my search parameters:
Carat: .8 or greater (6.0mm or better) (the bigger the better!!!)
Color: I or better
Clarity: SI1 or better iff eye-clean
Cut: Excellent
HCA: 2 or less
Polish: Very good or better
Symmetry: Very good or better
Fluorescence: Medium or less
Price: ~$3500 for diamond and setting together

I don't plan to propose until mid March so I still have plenty of time. Both of these diamonds are on b2cjewels. Diamond #1 is also on Eternity by Yoni's site as well as Solomon Brothers'. I have idealscope, ASET, and H&A for diamond #2 but not for diamond #1.

Does anyone have any input on this stone?

I would ask the vendor if it is eye clean-those black inclusions look like they would be visible, everything else looks good

Looks gorgeous if it is eye clean to your standards. Great find

I already asked the vendor and they said that it was in fact eye-clean. And it even comes in under budget! But since I am new at this, I thought I would ask some of those more knowledgeable (you fine ppl at PS) if there was anything obviously wrong or bad with the ASET, Idealscope, or any other images! Thanks for your input!
