Need help choosing between 2 round diamonds! Which one has the best cut? Which one has a larger surface area for its size? TIA.

Which diamond has the best cut?

Both would be about average surface area/spread for their carat weight, because they both have beautiful proportions and angles.
The 1.9 is from Whiteflash...is the 1.7 also?

Are you looking to stick with a very high clarity grade, or will a VS1 possibly even a clean VS2 suffice for you? If so, have you seen this 2.1 F VS2 with an 8.2mm spread?

Is the 1.95ct a ACA? I just think you don’t always find such a colourless, high clarity and top cut a size that close to 2ct

The 1.95 is an excellent value to get so close to 2cts. So if it is in budget, I'd for sure get it.
