Which would you choose? Ering about 10K budget

Hi all,

Just wondering on everyone's thoughts on the few diamonds I have narrowed down. They are all quite similar to me, but as I don't know too much about diamonds, which would be the best if each is eye clean, and the preference was as big and sparkly as possible? The colour difference is something I am not too sure about but given they are very similar on the colour scale, I wouldnt think this would be too much of an issue. I am also going to have this set in a platiunum setting and from what I have read, the more sparkly the diamond, the less you can tell colour? Anyway I was not sure which might be the better option:

1.04 F: http://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-2721314.htm
1.01 F: http://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-2668679.htm

Thank you in advance.

I am not as much of an expert as the other folks on this website but given they are all eye clean, I would go for the first one. I know it is a G color, but I would rather have the largest stone possible and to me the difference(between F and G) isnt noticeable. My ering stone is a G and I love it. I know others are more color sensitive but to me G is fine.

I would ask WF about the clouds in the 1st one...it says clarity grade based on clouds not shown. ask if the clouds affect the brilliance/light return.

I agree, but if it does not have any negative effects, that is the one I would choose. It is nice to get the little bit of extra size and I also have G color and like it!
