Both spectacular. I love G color, it is my favourite, but the H is almost half a mm bigger so that wins my vote

Can''t go wrong with either

I''d go for the H too. That''s a big size difference!

the H VS2

Looks like two phenomenal stones with perfect pictures and identical HCA scores (1.4 by my calculations). Naturally, you can''t go wrong with either one, and it''s best to compare these in person and decide for yourself, but I suppose that''s not very helpful to you. I am a layman on these matters, but I would go with the less expensive one, unless you want to pay much more for the extra size (albeit with slightly lower color). I think the quality of light performance and natural beauty of these two diamonds is too close to call. (To me, a perfectly eye-clean SI1 -- like the one you identified -- is just as good as a VS2.) If the diamonds were closer in size, I personally would choose the G color for sure, since I prefer whiter diamonds.

Hi Rachel,

Both look great, have you checked with GOG that the SI diamond is eyeclean to your standards? If so, then it comes down to personal preference.

Both looks good.
