Which of these two would you pick?

Hi,

I''ve just purchased a Vatche X-Prong from exceldiamonds because WF doesn''t carry Vatche. However, excel''s diamonds were a little high so I''d like to get one from WF. I''ve narrowed it down to 2 and I''d like to get your opinions on them.

Diamond 1
SI1, H
5.87-5.90X3.64
Table: 56.9
Depth: 61.7
Crown: 34.8
Pav: 40.8
Price: $2992

Diamond 2
SI1, G
5.81-5.84X3.57
Table: 57.5
Depth: 61.3
Crown: 34.8
Pav: 40.8
Price: $3108

So the question really is do I go for the cheaper, slightly larger H or the more expensive smaller G. Any thoughts?
Thanks

Providing both are eyeclean, I''d go for the H. The difference in color isn'' discernable to most when the diamond is set.

Whichever you pick, it''s a no-lose proposition....both are gorgeous!

I''m being a little contentious today.

I''d lean towards the G - not too much dif in size.

BUT - I would ask WF to eyeball them. Al is right - which one is more eye clean? And, is there much appearance difference in the color. Probably not - but sometimes the G & H could be farther apart.

both seem nice.

cant go wrong either way if both are eyeclean.

Call and have Brian eyeball them for you and tell you which he thinks is better.

Alright, thanks for the advice everyone. I figured being ACA both will be very nice, just wanted some opinions before I called WF. Anyone else?

Hehe - with that little difference in size and price, I''d go for the G.

(Assuming both are eyeclean of course!)

I''d go for the H...don''t like that black inclusion in the center of the G.

I'd be okay with the inclusion as long as I couldn't see it. If you can see it with the naked eye, the choice is made for you!! Ask WF if it's visible or not.

I agree...if you can''t see it I say pick the G.
