Which one would you choose?? HCA 1.6 & HCA 0.6

Hi all

Shortlisted the below two diamonds and I'm waiting on the performance images being emailed. Which diamond would you sway towards and why?

Diamond 1:
Carat: 1.26
Color: F
Clarity: VS2
Cut, Polish, Symmetry: EX
Fluorescence: None
Depth %: 61.7
Table %: 57
Crown: 35
Pavilion: 40.8
HCA: 1.6

Diamond 2:
Carat: 1.21
Color: F
Clarity: VS2
Cut, Polish, Symmetry: EX
Fluorescence: None
Depth %: 61.1
Table %: 56
Crown: 34
Pavilion: 40.6
HCA: 0.6

Should I be concerned about any of the clarity characteristics?

Thanks!!

I like the clarity plot on diamond 1 better but prefer the table, depth and crown angle of diamond 2. I would find out if diamond 2 is eye clean and that the clouds and twinning wisps do not impact performance.

Thanks I will ask the question. There is approximately $1,400 difference between the two diamonds

OK $1400 is a lot of money. I would go with diamond 1 if it is cheaper. The table/depth and CA is would not make that big of a difference. And $1400 towards setting will make a HUGE difference

Sorry I wasn't very clear on the cheaper diamond. It's actually diamond 2 that is cheaper - the 1.21ct.

So I guess I'll go with that one providing the inclusions don't impact on the performance.

Being a VS2 - does that mean the diamond will be eye clean and all inclusions are only visible through magnification?

It should mean that.
