Need help choosing diamond today

[fortheloveoflove]

Hello,

I could really use some input as to which of the following two RB diamonds to choose for my engagement ring. The AGS diamond is $200 more. I'm kind of in a time crunch because I need to choose the diamond today to have it set in time for a trip to visit my family. Thank you in advance for your help!

GIA
.92 carat
Color: E
Clarity: SI1 (eye clean; feather and crystals)
Cut: Excellent
Polish: Very Good
Symmetry: Excellent
Fluorescence: Medium Blue
HCA: .9

AGS
.95 carat
Color: F
Clarity: VS1
Cut: 000
Flourescence: Medium Blue
HCA: 1.2 (Spread was rated as very good instead of excellent)

Thank you again!

Sounds like a great combo of factors. Good luck!

The picture totally sucks.... but based off the information given, I would get the AGS 0.

Thanks for the responses! The main concern that's holding me back from choosing the AGS diamond is the color. I know it's an F (which is technically in the colorless range) but I've read that AGS is a little soft on color gradings and I definitely don't want any warmth in my diamond. That's just my personal preference, color is very important to me.

Has anyone ever been able to see any warmth/yellowness in a AGS F diamond? Thanks again!

Even G color is plenty white.

You should ask your vendor if they agree with the color/clarity grades.

You won't see any color in an F. I've had an F and a G and you can't see any warmth to them. The only time you'd be able to tell a difference was if you were comparing them to a D and all diamonds were face down.
