Hello, could you give me an opinion on these two diamonds? www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/0.90-carat-i-color-vs1-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-6208465?a_aid=dmnd1357 www.briangavindiamonds.com/diamonds/diamond-details/0.856-j-vvs1-round-diamond-ags-c-104105165078?a_aid=y Both seem to have nice cuts.

Is there going to be a big difference between the L and the K, is it worth the extra $1000? Thought the better color might be a good idea in case we want to put it in white gold one day. Do you think this will be eye clean? Will the K color be bad …

I was looking at it because my girlfriend absolutely loves that old movie and adores T&Co in general. While I could not afford a new ring from …
Hello, was checking out these diamonds on James Allen. All 3 look nice on paper, and within my budget. Which one would have the most brilliance and fire?
