I''ve narrowed my center stone to 2 diamonds. I need everyone''s opinion on which to choose.
Diamond 1
GIA
Cushion cut
1 carat
E color
VS2
60% table
64.5% total depth
Medium girdle thickness
Diamond 2
EGL
Cushion cut
1.24 carat
F color
VS2
64% table
67% total depth
Thin girdle
Both diamonds have excellent clarity, and I admit I have trouble finding the difference between E and F. I''m concerned with diamond 2''s proportions as the table and total depth seem wrong for a cushion cut, also not sure if a thin girdle is good since the setting holds the diamond by the girdle. However, diamond 2 seems a bigger and is of comprable quality and color. I''m leaning towards diamond 1 due to the excellent proportions and gia quality. I would also like to see the diamond I purchase appreciate in value. Which would you choose?
