Two diamond options! Help please...

[diashah]

Blue Nile:
GIA
1.12 J VS2
EX/EX/EX
Strong Blue Flouro
6.68 x 6.66 x 4.05 mm

Brilliance:
GIA
1.07 J VS2
EX/EX/EX
No Flouro
6.58 x 6.53 x 4.02 mm

Both stones have 60% tables and excellent proportions per GIA and a VERY similar price point...one has more Flouro but slightly bigger!

Could anyone shed some light on which sounds like the better deal, preferred vendor, etc. Any help/insight would be appreciated... Thanks!

Sorry, without pictures it is really impossible to say much about them...

Hopefully this can help some of the experts guide me?

Given both are 60% tables and GIA EX/EX/EX and same color/clarity

the first option has
Crown angle: 33.0
Pavillion angle: 41.0
Depth 60.7

the second options has
Crown angle: 34.5
Pavillion angle: 41.0
Depth 61.3

I understand its subtleties at this point! Any opinions are welcome. Thanks!

I personally don't care for 60% tables. The numbers appeal to me a little more on the second one, but the fluorescence would be an advantage in J color. I would never buy without photos, though. One could look much better than the other and there is no way to know from numbers.

By the numbers only! (which are heavily rounded by GIA) the first one with fluoro has better numbers. It's also bigger. I suggest you take that one of the two for a spin.

I bought the 1st one. Fingers crossed!!!

Thanks1
