BGD or JA diamonds help!!!

[mrtcard]

Dear all

I like a white bright diamond with excellent fire and sparkles. Im looking at above 1.2 cts stone and with a budget of less than $10k for the diamond and settings.

below is the

Im stuck now because i could not decide which stone to choose, should i play safe and go for 1.14 E stone for peace of mind
but will it sparkles and fire like mad? The AGS dated June 2011, does the date plays a factor? HCA scored 2.2..

Now BGD 1.257 and 1.205 are H stones, they say that BD diamonds cut are so excellent that i wont notice the warm color because of the sparkles. I could downgrade the color and upgrade the size given my budget. Now the thing is the Ideal Scope.

the scope revealed 1.205 has more redness than 1.257.... what does it means?

HELP!!

The JA one has some leakage. I would go for the 1.257 for the size. H color for this kind of diamond is fine, even for picky people.

I would also go for the 1.257. There was something on the Idealscope at the culet that concerned me, but if you can verify that's eye clean... that would be my choice.

BGD, no doubt about it.
