Hi,

Deciding between two Whiteflash ACA diamonds. Both are about the same size and price (2.3 vs 2.4 carat) and look beautiful. The 2.3 seems to have bigger flashes of fire (due to 76% lower girdle?) which is very eye-catching but the 2.4 seems overall brighter. Am in office and natural light most of the time, so probably shouldn't be seduced too much by the fire. 2.3 is HCA= 1 and 2.4 is HCA= .8 Is this just going to boil down to preference, or do you all think one is a better choice than the other? Probably a ridiculous question when it comes to an ACA, but I'll take any and all advice. Thanks in advance!



 
Wow - what a pair to choose from! Love the proportions of the 2.3 and yet I see what you mean about the 2.4 seeming a bit brighter. It could just be photography too. I would ask WF to do a side by side video for you to see if you see any major difference there. They both seem very clean and I doubt there is much difference in real life. You are indeed fortunate to have two stunning ACA’s to choose from in this instance!

That's my advice as well. Let your eyes decide once they send you a direct comparison.
 
Probably a good idea to have the 2.4 reserved also while you decide between the two. That is unless you’ve made your decision.
 
Agree with the side-by-side...both are beautiful!
 
Thanks for the input so far! A side-by-side video would probably help, and just seeing them in real life size, not super-sized on my monitor. Too easy to agonize over small differences that may not even be noticeable in real life. Didn't know I could reserve two different stones, so guess I should ask about that too. I know there's no 'wrong' choice, but would really like to get it right and not be second guessing my choice.
 
I too love the proportions of the 2.3! The 2.4 is 0.13mm bigger, not that it would be visibly different, but in case you wanted to eke out every extra bit of size.
