Help me choose

[brad173]

any help is greatly appreciated. I dont recall the table and depth numbers but they were both around where they were supposed to be. so just based on the 4 Cs which do you think is the nicer diamond and better buy. Both are GIA certified and Round Brilliant:

1.08 F SI1 Excellent cut, excellent polish, and excellent symetry, no florencence, no culet for $6700
1.17 G SI1 very good cut, very good polish, very good symetry, no florecence, no culet for $6600

Based soleley on that information, I'd go with the first one, since it's graded Triple Ex and has the higher color.

Without images or numbers (for HCA) or anything (and assuming that the SI1 is eyeclean) -- this is really up to what you prefer. The prices reflect the differences in cert quality and are on the high side.

For the F S1, the price is within the range of this PS search for the F / SI1).

For the G SI1, the price is a little high. See this PS search.

If the cut is amazing on both -- say H&A symmetry, with aaammmazing light return -- the cost difference could be justified.
