which diamond is a better value?

[chambord99]

hi,

Could I get some advice on which diamond is a better deal?

Both are Ex, Ex, Ex by GIA and F color

One is a
1.29 ct
VS1
a few gray clouds, but can''t see with naked eye.
for $11,160

or

2nd one is a
1.5ct
VS2
H&A
could see a few black clouds from the side with naked eye if I look carefully.
$12,800

I like both but not sure which is the better bang for the buck. I like the fact the second one is bigger but also like the fact that first one is cleaner and can''t any inclusions with naked eye.

Many Thanks!!

Hi Chambord

Can you post all the details for each diamond please such as depth, table, angles and so on or alternatively, the GIA report numbers and exact carat weight so we can look the info up online?

Also as the second is said to be h&a do you have images of both hearts and arrows also?

Both have nice numbers.


I'm partial to the first myself, with that tiny table

I would have trouble if I could see the black inclusions but given that it is a VS2 I assume they are hard to find and I would take the bigger stone.
