One with G-vs2 vs H-vs2

Prefer G but price difference..
Size about the same

It looks basically H vs G
How do you think so?

Call them and ask for a picture side by side. Also, ask them to "talk" you through the 2 stones. Is the H a solid H? High, low?
Obvious they are both nice stones. If you feel like you might be color sensitive at all I would lean towards the G.

I'm color sensitive, so I personally would go with the G. However, if color doesn't bother you, the less expensive H is a lovely stone. If you're not sure about your color sensitivity, take a field trip to a few jewelry stores and spend some time looking at different colored GIA or AGS diamonds.

I think you can beat both those prices, by far. For example, here's a 2.0 carat round diamond with H color and VS2 clarity. It has excellent polish, excellent symmetry, and is Adiamor's "Affinity" cut, which is the best cut they offer.

It's about $2750 cheaper than the H color diamond you shared

No. This stone is poorly cut. Gia excellent is not sufficient to guarantee a well cut stone. ACA is a super ideal stone guaranteed to be outstanding.

Is a G color worth $4000 more to you?

How can you tell that one is poorly cut? Is there something about the way it looks?

The numbers on the Gia report. There are tons of threads on here about how cut is king, and angles need to work together and be complimentary to make an ideally perfroming diamond. The one you posted doesn't have ideal numbers, and will be much worse than the ACA stones.

I just realized I posted the wrong link. That one is not "Affinity" cut that one is just "excellent." The one I meant to post was this, and it's a bit more expensive but still like $2,750 cheaper than the WF one: https://www.adiamor.com/Diamonds/2.00-ct-H-VS2-Affinity-Cut-Round-Diamond/D40995561

What are the numbers on the GIA report that say that it's bad?

The numbers do not look bad on the GIA report. But the crown angle at 35.5 just falls out of ideal range but is complimentary with the Pavilion Angle at 40.6 need images to confirm light performance.

Yup, exactly. You should stick with the 2 you posted about

This is a tough choice. Both are well cut stones and I love the specs. . You need to ask WF for their opinion. I'll take either one.

I'd stay away from these magic # ct (i.e 2ct) stones. Notice the depth at 62.4% ? . The cutter's goal was to hit the "magic weight" of 2 ct. on this stone. You can't compare this stone to ACA b/c this stone might not be a H&A cut like the ones from WF.
