Hi,
Can you please give me your opinions/thoughts on which of these diamonds you would pick? They are the same price. The setting will be a simple 4 prong platinum band.

Both have:
Excellent Cut, Polish, Symmetry "triple X cut"
GIA Certification

Diamond A:
1.95 carat, G, VS2, Medium blue Fluorescence
(we will see the diamond in person and will make sure there is no milky/haziness)
Depth: 62.0%
Table: 57%
Crown Angle: 36.5°
Pavilion Angle: 40.6°



Diamond B:
2 carat, H, SI1 (eye clean), No Fluorescence
Depth: 62.3%
Table: 56%
Crown Angle: 34.0°
Pavilion Angle: 41.0°

I like the look of the first one better, and I wouldn't worry about the fluorescence. If there was a milky/haziness to it, you'd be able to see it. Do you have any other information on the stones? Like table %, depth % crown angle and pavillion angle?
 
Hi! I just updated the additional specs :) Thanks for your feedback!
 
oh...ok, well the first one has too big of a crown, causing the HCA score to be 2.4 versus the 2ct scored a 1.4 on the HCA, so that'd be my pick.

thanks for the response! Any other opinons are welcome too please!
 
Can you get an idealscope image of these? I'd be afraid to buy either without assessing leakage.

Haziness isn't going to be an issue on #1. But you need to have an idealscope image to see if it has leakage. I'd certainly love to have it if it didn't! But I wouldn't buy without the idealscope image.

I do not have idealscope images on either of these, but this is something I'll look into!
 
Both look good, comes down to personal preference.
