Both are super ideal stones.

The .91 has a triple VH on the brilliancescope while the 1.04 has a H VH borderline H/VH.
The .91 has medium blue fluorescence, 1.04 has none.

Everything else is pretty much the same (HCA 1.5, Isee2 9.8
30.gif
) except the .91 is $400 cheaper. If you've seen my other posts, I'm pretty conflicted about size and I'm not sure if 1.04 might be too big for me. I also understand the VVS1 is overkill but stock is limited in what I'm interested in.

And yes, I'm the girl that let the .998 F VS2 ACA go despite all your advice. This time I will listen to you guys, I promise!

Also, have I completely gone off the deep end? I know I'm super anal and picky but am I going overboard here??? Be honest!
 
Most people will probably advise going for the 1.04 G, but I know that you will

that 0.91 F!

Been looking at it myself (maybe when the kids are out of college.....) I have an F VS2 with medium blue flour, and it is a great combo.

Good luck.

Pssst...if you''re interested, there''s a video up on the pages for both diamonds. They''re really stellar stones, which is why it''s such a hard decision.
 
Go for the bigger one, because in a couple months, it will look just like the smaller one. Seriously.

In that case, there''s a 1.18 G VVS2 with awesome stats. Just kidding. That one is definitely over-budget.
 
Go bigger :)
 
I''m hearing you on the super-picky... that was me too. :)

I ended up with VS2 and I could not be more pleased with this clarity.... totally, utterly eyeclean and it''s even tricky to spot my clouds with a loupe.

If you can find a VS2 I''m positive even the superest-pickiest bit of you would love it. :)

I''m voting for the bigger stone.. because I''ve watched my own carat shrink at least 25 - 33% before my very eyes in just a few months.

Unless, of course, there''s an even bigger VS2 out there within your budget.

However, you are among friends and enablers, so what the heck; right?

I say go for the bigger one. You will not regret it in a year.

They are both great diamonds but I''d go for the F.
 
i vote bigger

Ditto!
 
Out of curiosity, 0.13 carats = what kind of a mm difference?
 
VS1 is so great and it's over a ct. I vote this one!!!!!

Disclaimer: I think H is perfect, so I don't care about the difference between F and G (I likes me a nice E but that's another story) and I don't care for florescence, your mileage may vary.)

6.26 vs. 6.54

it''s pretty visible side by side but i''m not sure how visible once set.

Have you seen them in person? Can you tell a difference between the F and the G?
 
OMG, I just reserved a diamond they JUST got in. It''s a .94 G VS1. A great combination between the two I was originally looking at and for way less $$$. I guess it pays to stalk the website obsessively.

From the way you phrase things here, I think you are leaning towards the .91. I could be wrong, but I''m going to break it down to see.

Neutral.

Not sure I know what this means, but it sounds like the .91 performs better.

The .91 has medium blue fluorescence, 1.04 has none.

Could go either way.

In favour of the .91.

I could be reading into your comments too much, but that''s how it sounds to me.

I really appreciate your help though! I actually was leaning toward the .91 so you were totally right. Thank you!

Sounds like a terrific choice! Those stones just under a carat are a great value (which I think I mentioned to you before)!
