Which of these two diamonds would you choose? (Round Brilliant Cuts, F - SI1)

[rookie1981]

Hello everyone,

I''m going to purchase one of these two diamonds unless there is a strong cause for concern among PSers. This post kind of rides the tail of my other post about the diamond with feathers. Here are the links to the two diamonds I am considering.

Diamond #1

Diamond #2

I''ve placed an order on the first one because I am not as concerned with the feathers in this one compared to second one. In the first one, I also like the following:

1) AGS-0 (Hearts and Arrows)
2) Laser Inscription (There will be no mistaking our diamond)
3) Girdle thickness is a little more substantial which makes me feel better about its durability
4) Ideal polish and symmetry
5) Diamond Quality Document in lieu of Diamond Quality Report

The first one is more expensive than the second and smaller. However, size is probably the least of my girlfriend''s concerns. I really want to get her 1 ct. The diamond will be set in a 4-prong, white gold Tiffany setting. Which one would you choose? Can you tell any significant difference in ASET or Idealscope?

Thanks for all your help in this purchase and I do value your opinions.

Best regards,
The Now-Seasoned-Rookie
