Hello, I’m on the hunt for the perfect diamond.
Was wondering if you could help me by narrowing down which would ve the best. I am looking on the James Allen website. These are the diamonds in my wish list, but am open to suggestions. I would truly appreciate your help. Thank you!
Once again thank you!
Here’s my opinion on the diamonds you selected:

This one is not eye-clean and the IGI certificate is not the best. Try to stick to GIA and AGS labs.

This one is beautiful.

Medium fluorescence is an issue here, it usually causes haziness. For DEFG diamonds you should get only none or faint fluorescence.

Not eye-clean + fluorescence.
Thank you for your quick response.
My boyfriend and I are now debating which of the two diamonds to choose. Which one would be the better choice?

Both are excellent choices. Personally, I like the G VS1 better as it has a slightly better depth %, but it’s up to you. You can’t go wrong with either of them.
Just wanted to inform you that we went with the G VS1.
Once again thank you for your help!
That’s great news! I’m glad I could help.
