Which one is a good choice?

[lkhosasi]

Hi folks, would you help me of seeing these 2 diamonds from ACA, which one is better? My budget is not more than $2,000. I would like the carat size is at least 0.7x

Go for this stone its better than the other one even they are same classified as AcutAbove...
Reason why the proportions and inclusions its better.
Just make sure ask them its not Brownish,grennish or milky stone.

I saw there are 3 tiny black color at 3pm for the diamond that you mentioned. But the other one is pure red. Would that affect the diamond performance?

First, both are great stones & choices. It's hard to go wrong with either one.

That said, I like the 0.718ct linked above better. The higher crown angle is throwing a little more fire IMO which I prefer. Look at the videos. Also, the hearts image is a little better as well.

Being a K colored stone, @YoLaL makes a good point about verifying the shade of the stone and whatever the results, making sure you are okay with that.

I’ve had my eye on both those stones, and I agree that the .718k is my favorite.

 

[lkhosasi]

Actually I am perfectly ok with the K color, as I have 0.8ct in K color, the problem is my 0.8ct is not super ideal, and I never own a super ideal stone. So this is my first time in considering of buying super ideal stone.
Btw, thank you guys for giving me some advices here. Appreciate it.

Are you replacing the 0.8ct stone with this one?

What are the specs on your other stone?

I like #1 , b/c all 8 hearts are perfectly matched, plus looks like a very clean VS2 stone.

Looking back over this my comments were probably confusing as I linked the wrong stone. The one with the 34.7 crown is what I like for reasoning already provided.

Sorry.

I also like this one the best:

But I would recommend J color instead of K. This one is only slightly smaller, but the higher the color, the brighter the stone will appear.

No, I don’t plan to replace my 0.8ct stone, as I think it is not worth it to trade in my current stone. Furthermore the stone was not purchased from whiteflash. My current stone spec is 0.8 K VS2. CA 36, PA 40.6, TD61.9, T 58%.

Are you saying brighter means sparkler?

Ah yes, thank you .

Now you all have confirmed my choice as well, as I am more in favour of the first one diamond of Aset scope.

 

[diamondseeker2006]

The first diamond looks cleaner in terms of clarity. All the diamonds were fine on the ASET.

Are you saying brighter means sparkler?

No, cut and light determine sparkle. The whiter a stone is, the brighter (assuming equally well cut stones).

Here's a good illlustration, although it does look like the diamond on the left has more direct lighting. Still, the H is on the left and the J is on the right. This is what I mean about higher colors being brighter (because they are whiter).

Oh now I know what you are saying. Yeah, brighter stone looks more appealing.
Thanks for the pic ya.
