Which fancy diamond would you choose? Need opinions from all of you!

Which would you choose for an engagement ring (not considering resale value)?

The 2ct has a feather inclusion — would this be visible to the naked eye?

Or should go for the 1.5ct VVS2 instead?

Also, which color is considered rarer? I’d really appreciate your thoughts and comments!

To be honest, I’m not a big fan of either of the diamonds shown. The top one has strong white fluorescence and a grayish-green hue, which might make it behave unpredictably in sunlight (and that’s coming from someone who loves fluorescence!). I’d definitely ask for photos in natural sunlight before moving forward.

I’m also not too fond of the bottom diamond. Both stones seem to have a brown undertone, which could give them a slightly brownish appearance in real life. That might be the look or color the bride is going for—and if so, great! But personally, I’d prefer a diamond with a bit more brightness and vibrancy for an engagement ring.

If you want, I can look around for you. Just need a budget to stay within what you want.

I appreciate your time to reply this long. when yoy say a diamond with abit more brightness did you mean something like ''fancy light?''


also, I forgot to mention that the 2ct priced at 6,800USD & 1.5ct priced at 5,200USD

I would much prefer something more along this line, or even fancy intense. How does the intended want this set? A halo to play off the color? Did they ask for a "Canary" diamond?

Was actually thinking to be set in a matte band for everyday wear - something like this below, design is from Mccaul goldsmith based in London

That is a cool design. I would visualize the stones you selected at the top better in this setting.

thank you!!

That first stone looks like it could be very dark most of the time. Of course, it's hard to tell
without additional videos in different lighting from the seller.

Btw this is a chameleon diamond, the color of the stone changed when heated. The 2ct is the normal fancy diamond
