Hi mate! First of all thanks for creating this website. I’ve found it extremely useful.
I found this (1.) diamond which I ordered over the weekend. However I’m now having second thoughts about clarity (black twinning wisp on table), bow-tie and fluorescence so wanted to get your thoughts please.
I’m now considering changing to another option (2.) that is slightly more expensive (plus £300) but is VS1 and has a smaller ratio which I suspect might reduce bow-tie (since it’s closer to round). They are both F colour but I feel like the second (2.) is more yellow than the first (1.) or am I going crazy lol. What do you think?

Btw here’s another video at a different angle from the site I actually ordered from (77diamond as UK based)
I like the cut of option 2 better (the 4 pavilion mains facet pattern tends to have no bow-tie). But it looks cloudy to me, so of the two I’d stick with your first choice. If you find another option that’s like option 2 that’s not cloudy, then I would switch to that.
Thanks Joe. I found another which has the 4 main facet pattern that you recommended (£800 more). Seems to have more fire to my eyes even though the one I ordered still looks a little whiter somehow. Some “natural” inclusion at the edges too but not sure if that should be an issue. Do you think I should try switch to this?
