Hello,
Out of these two diamonds, which would be your choice?

1.653 ct I VS1

The first one is a step up in colour and clarity, but the second one has a really nice aset image.

Curious to your thoughts. Thanks.

I'm not really into J princesses

Can you go to I color and 1.5 carats? Cause princesses show color in the points pretty easily. I like I color princesses though.

The second one is I color! It is gorgeous and would definitely be my pick!

Oh yeah. I need my eyes checked. I color for me then.

Definitely the J ...a better cut diamond...a smaller table and the ASET looks really nice. But I would ask the gemologist which they think is the best performing stone. I once saw a K color princess and it was lovely.

From a diamond consultant at whiteflash holding both stones, doing a side-by-side comparison:

I can tell you that both of these diamonds are extremely beautiful. There is no visible size difference between them, they both face up comparably in terms of color and clarity and both are eye-clean.
If I was splitting hairs between the two I prefer the faceting pattern of the 1.674ct and feel like it has more fire. The 1.674ct is a better value while the 1.653ct is higher in color and clarity. There really are no bad options here.

Does this change anyones opinion?

ags grading sometimes is a little loose on color. Perhaps they are both Js
