D VS1 vs F VVS2

[lugger]

Still stuck. Just want feed back. Would you prefer knowing that one diamond is almost flawless in clarity but F color or a D color with some flaws in clarity (also an indented natural). Here are the GIA reports and both are same price essentially

Are these different from the stones you posted before, or the same ones? Can you post pics?

I’d rather the D as the color is something you can with the naked eyes compared to clarity which you can’t.

I wish I had this dilemma between four carat stones

yes i been looking at these 3. all can be seen except for the last one F VS1 bc i have on reserve but if you type in BN search bar 00035192 it will pull up in the 360 view and i put that GIA report of that as well at end

thank you!

I don't like the 4.01 F color. The crown angle is steep and the stone is deep, which isn't something I like.

I like both the 4.02 options much better. My personal favorite is the D if choosing between them because the difference between VS1 and VVS2 won't be visible to the naked eye. I also prefer the arrows in the D color, plus it saves you 4K AND you get a D color. So for me it would be an easy choice

I think I agree but believe it or not the BN rep and a so called independent expert (i consulted and paid for) were in favor of the F VS1 (even with the angle issue) over the D?? The F VVS2 just came on line.

I have no idea why anyone would favor the F VS1 over the D. It is nowhere near as aesthetically pleasing as the other two IMHO.

i know and he said he felt the F would have better light performance. I was stunned a little bc I did put both in the HCA and the D came out much better (it has the better angles). His reply was you cant use the HCA other than ruling out really bad cuts

What did the F VS1 come out as on the HCA?

 

[lugger]

2.3 i believe and very good in all 4 cats
the D came back very good in light return excellent in the rest

Yeah, ignore people telling you to get the F VS1. Its objectively worse both on paper and to the eye. Get the D

 

[Snowdrop13]

Can you get light return images for these stones? I would think the vendors would be falling over themselves to provide them at this price level?

i asked about that to James alllen they said they stopped doing that in march 2020?

I believe your right

 

[nojs]

The D is much better.

 

[lugger]

The D is much better.

thank you

Please show pics when u get the stone u decide on

They told me it was due to the Covid...not sure if this is true.

I would prefer a D.

This is correct.

I would try the D and the 4.02 F before the 4.01 F.

Will do

 

[lugger]

Will do

Agree with everyone saying that the F VS1 isn’t up to scratch. I think the other two would both be good, but I prefer the D since it’s cheaper and whiter.

I didn't see the F VVS2 when I just searched James Allen. I wanted to compare the videos of the D and F. The D looks great, and the still photo of the F looks outstanding if it is still available. I'd have to see the other video to tell you which I'd favor, but either would be a fabuous choice.

The third stone would be a pass for me, because I wouldn't buy that stone without an ASET image to show light return and potential leakage. The first two I would feel are safe to buy with report and video.

I really hate to hear that you paid someone for bad advice. Incidentally, I never pay any attention to sales reps for big virtual diamond companies. You'll get your best advice here by seeing a variety of opinions. It's free, too!

the F VVS2 is on Blue nile. Thank you for taking your time to look

 

[diamondseeker2006]

I should have noticed the F VVS2 was BN! Sorry about that!

Both the D VS1 and F VVS2 are outstanding choices. I'd be thrilled with either one. I generally feel that anything above VS1 clarity is unnecessary because VS1 is so clean, so I guess that and the slight price difference give the D VS1 the advantage. I still like them equally, though.

Thank you again for your time. I never heard that statement about "mind clean is harder than eye clean" but thats probably the truest statement I have heard. I believe I will go with the D

 

[diamondseeker2006]

Wonderful! We would love it if you'd come back and post a picture or two of the finished ring! It is rare that we get to see a 4 ct D!
