Hi,

After a lot of reading and searching I've narrowed down my selection to two diamonds from whiteflash.
I have a hard time deciding between the two.
What do you experts think is the best choice? (Top row is diamond A, bottom row is diamond B)

Also, here are the glam images of those diamonds (although I assume these can trick you depending on the camera angle, flash, lens etc). (First is diamond A, then diamond B).

Grateful for your professional insights,

They both look amazing! Do you have a high definition photos of these two diamond facing up?

Some people prefers the smaller tables...

i'm not an expert but to my eye i like the first one based on the asset images.
 
I do not have HD pictures of the actual diamonds.
I do have this one extra picture though that shows them side by side
(Diamond B is the left here, Diamond A is the right)

I have higher resolution pictures of the ASET, Ideal Scope and True Hearts images here:

What makes you think the ASET of diamond 1 is better? Are you looking at the vendor's ASET or the AGS Aset image?

Thanks!

eta: I am guessing these both are WF ACAs since there are H&A images... Are you willing to share the price difference between them, and the color/clarity of each?

Based on the images you posted, I am perceiving Diamond B as higher color and larger as compared to Diamond A - and I wonder if this is just an artifact of photography or if there is indeed a color/size difference between the two stones.
 
Diamond B looks a hair bigger, so assuming there's no difference in the price, I'd probably choose that one.
 
The gemologist at WF said A is better, with B being a very very close second.
Here are the specs:

Diamond A: Color G, VS1
Diamond B: Color G, VS2

Weight difference 0.07carats (B is larger)
The first is a tiny bit more expensive due to the better clarity VS1
The second catches up on the price though because of the slightly increased size.

It's your choice. You need to decide which you prefer. Both are top performers, one is just bigger. If there is hardly a slight difference in performance, you will not notice it in real life. but again, up to YOU. I like bigger, so that's the route I'd go, you may not or it may not matter as much to you, so then go with A.
 
Hiya OP - i like option A - but did the gemologist from WF provided any details why she also thinks that option A is better?

To be honest; i always ensure I ask the trusted vendors opinion as they can see the stones in person.

They are both really nice stones and from what I understand you can't go wrong with ACA!
 
Yes they provided details.
I asked repeatedly.
Three different people in the store (2 gemologists and another color sensitive employee) chose A as their first choice.

Really hard to shop these things from the net though, without physical access.

Thanks to all who replied, I greatly appreciate it!
