Which diamond should I go with (going by the numbers only:/)

[ashville]

Hello,

I think my time has come to surprise my significant other.
However, I am having a difficult time to choose one as the numbers are very similar to each other.
Are these two diamonds pretty much the same solely judging by the numbers without any supporting images?
It was interesting how 1.1 carat costs only $2 dollars more than 1.01 which makes me think 1.1 is a no-go for its price.
(I just see it skeptical when the carat is higher than another yet the price is cheaper, thinking there probably is a flaw when viewed by IS, ASET, Sarin?)
If you were me, which one would you go it?


1.HCA - 1.6 ex/ex/ex/vg




2.HCA - 1.6 ex/ex/ex/vg




Thank you

Which vendors are these stones from? The same vendor or different? And have you requested images so you don't have to go solely off the numbers? Have you asked if they have notes on each stone? Is that a black crystal under the table? It should be eye clean no matter what but I would ask that.

The 1.10 is going to be visually larger than the other one. You can't make any assumptions about the reason for the pricing. Almost identical stones can have different pricing due to many factors. The smaller stone may be overpriced. It is possible that the 1.10 may not be eyeclean and that would need to be the first question asked. If it is eyeclean, it would be my choice. However, I do not recommend buying diamonds without images of the stone and an idealscope or ASET image.

If anything, I'd be more worried about the smaller stone and why it hasn't sold in a year.
