Two stones of roughly the same size. F vs G for color and both VS1 and look eye clean. Both rate as the best cuts. HCA scores are both excellent. Over $6k difference – worth it?  James Allen seems like a good deal (relatively speaking). Thanks!

Your help is much appreciated! I think I have landed on the final choice and just want to make sure I am not missing anything. This is a G VS1 that looks eye clean to me and has super ideal proportions and angles. Thanks!

Thank you. I have purchased this diamond but as I perhaps obsess about it while it is being set I can’t help but worry about the area at the edge that has reduced brightness.

The numbers are all super ideal so I am not sure why it has this but do you think this is relevant to the observer?

I know this is a big, important purchase. You have, however, nothing to worry about. The diamond you selected is excellent. 🙂
