Hey Joe,
I’m back with another question. You had recommended the second diamond however I found the first diamond on your site this moring. Thoughts between these two diamonds? The first one falls right on your cost efficiency line and the second one is just above the cost efficiency line. The first one arrows seem to be better, therefore would this be more scintillating and thus worth the extra $1300 in cost in your opinion?
Thanks for your help!

I think this 1.80 I VS1 is a darker I. I also see more strain from the clouds.
At that price, I would prefer the original 1.91 H VS2 you posted. Or the 2ct I VVS2 below. I think it has better color tone and hits 2ct.
