Is one of these better than the other?
Diamond 1: https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/oval-cut/1.70-carat-d-color-vs1-clarity-sku-19609372
Diamond 2: https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/oval-cut/1.82-carat-d-color-vs2-clarity-sku-17910122
Also, I found a better-grade diamond on Rare Carat (https://www.rarecarat.com/diamond/114079555?back=cart) – any thoughts on buying from Rare Carat vs James Allen?
To make the videos consistent, here’s the RC diamond on JA: https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/oval-cut/1.75-carat-d-color-vvs1-clarity-sku-17677100
The RC diamond looks darker down the middle and the tips. So of the three, I like the 1.70 D VS1 the best. I don’t think the 1.82 D VS2 is worth $2k more.
