c£300 more than the other option.

Many thanks all

I like the specs of the 1.01 F VS2 better.
Does WC have this one in-house?
If so, see if they can provide you ASET or Ideal-Scope images.

Diamond Proportions

The physics of light-behavior within a diamond are reliably consistent, which means proportions measurements can be useful.

I also prefer the F VS2. It looks beautiful.

Thanks for your recommendation. I'm based in the UK so those diamonds become significantly more expensive due to VAT and customs. So with that on top, it flies out of my budget!
