Which will be better: 36/40.6 or 40.6/34.8

[chrion777]

I'm looking at two stones:
Both are reported as eye-clean.

AGS - F Color - SI1 - Negleg. Flour.
59.4% Table / 60.5% Depth
40.6% Pavilion / 34.8% Crown
HCA Score: 1.3
or


GIA: E Color - SI1 - Slight Flour.
56% Table / 62.1% Depth
40.6% Pavilion / 36% Crown
HCA Score: 1.8

Which of these will be the more fiery and brilliant of the two?



Trying to make the best decision for my g/f hopefully soon to be fiance

They will both be fiery and offer great light reflection. I'm not sure anyone would be able to confidently tell you which diamond is more brilliant, as the HCA tool is mainly used for rejection and not for comparison of similar diamonds. They are so close! I'm sure she (and you) will be happy with either one.

if you could see them in person you may notice different 'flavors' of light return...however I think that is more of a matter of personal preference than one being 'better' than the other.

Thank you to everyone for your help.
Sounds like they are both going to be good stones. Now I can not chose.. this is sooo hard

Ok I guess there are worse things in the world then having to pick between two great diamonds.
Hmm.

If you need to make a decision between these 2 stones I would choose the first one.
It has no fluorescence and has a better spread (lower depth).
I suppose they look very similar, so I would choose the first one (AGS SI1/F).
