Out if curiosity, was the smaller Tiffany comparable pricewise to your gigantic WF ACA?

It is only possible to do this for 45 minutes after your post went up.
If you don't remove it, Admin likely will, eventually ... but I'd rather protect my security ASAP.

I say lighting and/or photography.
Looking at the photos, the main light is coming from a very specific direction (1/2 o clock) and angle (narrow and high) based on looking at the shade and light reflection. The smaller stone is simply not exposed to the same lighting condition as the bigger stone; even a slightest tilt results in a big difference, because each facet grabs and returns light from a very specific and narrow range of angles only.
Both diamonds are not exposed to enough diffused light, therefore both appear rather dark.

It's not the lighting or the photography as I was there and I viewed both diamonds in person. I compared my H coloured Whiteflash to a smaller Tiffany diamond which was also an H for the purpose of matching colour only. The Tiffany was nicely cut but darker grey in appearance than the Whiteflash.
I then asked for a Tiffany diamond of a similar size to mine so she took out an F that was slightly larger (2.2 Carats). It had the same deep grey but sparkly appearance.
From what I have witnessed there is a real difference when comparing a Whiteflash Cut Above Diamond to a Tiffany in terms of appearance. Both are beautiful but I don't understand why the Tiffany stones appear darker. It's like you can see deeper into the stone because of the darker colour and see internal sparkles within the diamond whereas the Whiteflash is always reflecting back light and looks brighter.
Any other opinions as to why this is?
I will stop into a larger Tiffany outlet soon where I know they have an H two carat stone, VVS1 - assuming it hasn't already sold. I will take more photos this time of two diamonds the same size and colour side by side.
Just wondering if the deep grey is an indication of a desirable trait in diamonds which is why Tiffany chooses them.
I absolutely prefer the Whiteflash but to be fair I am biased as this is the ring my Fiance and I selected together.
I could talk about diamonds all day!

Here is the Ideal Scope and ASET for my diamond.
