Would like an opinion about 2 stones

[ufljchia]

Hello everyone, I am currently looking to buy a diamond for an engagement ring and I've been searching long hard. I've narrowed it down to these two stones, one from Whiteflash and one from James Allen and I would appreciate any opinion/advice as to if any one of these stones are superior to the other. Thanks in advance!!

I would go with the WF stone for 2 reasons

1 when you compare the cert images the JA stone has quite a bit of less bright area

2 I think WF overall has a better upgrade program etc. for you in the future if your ever interested in doing so

disagree, both look fine

2 I think WF overall has a better upgrade program etc. for you in the future if your ever interested in doing so
definitely, esp. given the small (relatively) price difference

The James Allen stone is a little deep at 62.6. Just on principle I like the numbers a little better on the WF stone. That would be my choice .

does one vendor have a setting you like better?

I would like to thank everyone for their reply! When I first went into the process of trying to find the "perfect" diamond, I never realized how difficult it would be. All the companies have so many different names for things that it is hard to wrap my head around what is marketing and what is fact. If the WF stone is the "better" of the two then I'll go with it. My gf has given me very specific details about the setting so I don't think I'll have a problem with it. ^^ Thanks everyone.
