I would think Based upon the Information that they are probably close to the Same Price. One is Bigger, but having a Slightly Lower Clarity and Color than the other.<\/p>\n<p>\nBoth Diamonds are Awesome and within <strong>a Percent or two of being Ideal<\/strong>. I&#8217;ve never seen a Diamond hit <strong>60\/60<\/strong> on the dot, so to get this close to it is Awesome and nothing that you would ever see with the naked eye.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe only thing that concerns me slightly is the Girdle on the Larger Stone. I like a Medium Girdle just because it&#8217;s more Durable and won&#8217;t Chip or Nick like a Thin or Very Thin Girdle would. But then with a Cut close to Ideal, I don&#8217;t think a Thin Girdle will be an Issue here (we&#8217;re not talking about Spread or Shallow Stones).<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>You can&#8217;t Lose with either Stone<\/strong>. Both Diamonds are Pure White and Both have Inclusions so Small you&#8217;d need a Microscope to see.<\/p>\n<p>\nPutting the two side by side I would think they would look Pretty Identical in both Sparkle and Brilliance. So I say, <strong>go with the Bigger Stone<\/strong>. The Color and Clarity are still Top Notch and Awesome, and being able to Memorize the couple of Small Pin Points in the Diamond is Good Identification on your part. A VVS Diamond will be Very Hard to Spot anything inside it, which also means it will be Tough to look in a Microscope or <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2c1Psk9\">10x Jeweler&#8217;s Loupe<\/a> and know that it&#8217;s your Stone.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Go with the VS<\/strong>.
