Question:<\/h2>\n

I am torn between two similar quality diamonds<\/strong>. Both are .90 carat and are colorless. Prices are very similar as well.<\/p>\n

\nI am looking for the diamond that will perform the best<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Which will be the better diamond to buy?<\/p>\n

\n


\nE color, SI1 clarity, Hearts & Arrow cut<\/a> ($5,320<\/strong>) or<\/p>\n

\nF color, VS1 clarity, Hearts & Arrow cut<\/a> ($8,820<\/strong>)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nI’ve learned a lot from your site and would really appreciate your advice.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nThanks, Aaron<\/strong><\/p>\n

Answer:<\/h2>\n

\nHi Aaron<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I would go with the E color, SI1 clarity, Hearts & Arrow cut ($5,320<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

\nIt has a better color, but the clarity difference between these two side by side<\/strong> clarities is not something that you’ll likely notice when viewing, unless you view it under a 10x microscope<\/a> or jeweler’s loupe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nSave the huge difference in money<\/strong>… Put the SI1 clarity, E color (like these similar diamonds here<\/a>) into a nice mounting (like a pave mounting<\/a> or a halo mounting<\/a>) and you’ll be very happy with it. :)<\/p>\n
