Hi,
I am new here, and have been browsing on this wonderful site for information. Thank you all!
I need some advice picking out a diamond for my engagement ring. (yes, my fiancee and I prefer picking out the ring together, since it's a huge purchase. :angel: )
I am deciding between 2 diamonds , and need your advice! I am leaning towards the 1.37 ct one because from the clarity characteristics in the report it seems to have better clarity ? However I have no idea about how to interpret the cuttings, proportions and measurements. I would prefer a better cutting though, so what do you think ? Thanks in advance !

Here are the image of the reports:

I like the ACA. That's just me. I can't read the GIA cert - run the #'s through the HCA, then get an idealscope image.
 
Looks like a crazy typo on the ACA report. Can you see the original? It looks like it has the measurements as 6.95 x 9.98!!! I am sure it is supposed to be 6.98 but that isn't what I am seeing on my screen!

I'd choose the ACA of these two. I can't tell for sure but the bottom stone looks like it might say 62.9% depth and you want to stay with 62.3 or less. The deeper the stone, the less the diameter for the weight, usually.

Re: which diamond would you prefer ? GIA and AGS

:o I didn't notice the error, thanks for pointing out! I would need to ask them.

here is the link to the 1.37 with GIA cert.
I know people usually think AGS or GIA cert are equal, but for some reason GIA seem to be more recognized internationally ? Do you have personal preference ?

Thanks
 
Please do a search on here for GIA versus AGS there are a number of threads that discuss the topic.

AGS has better light performance/cut grading.
GIA is more internationally recognized.

What you decide is up to you.
