Hm, of these two I’d probably go with the the 1.01 F SI1. The 0.80 D SI1 is nice, but overpriced. The 1.01 F SI1 has a larger than average diameter, but it has strong fluorescence. I think its inclusions are small enough to be eye-clean.
You could go with something in-between for size and color. The 0.9 E SI2 below would save you at least $1000. The feather at 1 o’clock is on the pavilion side and can be obscured with a prong (ask their customer service to place a prong over it).

also to add, i okay with spending the extra 1000 if the actual stone will give that bigger appearance as well just want to know what you think of the stone if the money is not a factor
Side by side, you would be able to tell the difference between the 0.90 E SI2 and the 1.01 F SI1. The F SI1 is almost the size of a 1.1ct diamond.
If the 1.01 F SI1 is eye-clean and not hazy, I’d say go for the 1.01 F SI1. Check it out for yourself and if you like it, great! If not, you can always return it.
i think I may do that, I did find this one only 243.00 more in a D color which between this one and the F si1? Thank you so much!

I like the F more. I like the proportions better (lower pavilion angle) and the D is less likely to be eye-clean with the black crystal.
Thank you so much for replying. The .90 is very nice and I can’t even see the feather! I am leaning toward the 1.01 due to the large diameter trying to make the stone look as big as I can for my money. I am horrible and telling these diameters. Is the .90 would that look fairly large if set high? I don’t think I am that worried about the fluorescence. I did have BN pull the 1.01 and it is eye clean and not cloudy or grainy at all. Just the depth is not that great which I think is okay?
