Hi there,
I am looking to purchase a better diamond and I have been looking at these two diamonds from Blue Nile. I was wondering if you could tell me which diamond would be more brilliant? Thank you.
I have put both diamonds on hold in hopes that one diamond is a better diamond.
I wouldn’t choose the 2.74ct stone because of the medium fluorescence. It may cause a hazy/milky look in daylight (https://www.diamonds.pro/education/fluorescence/).
The other stone (Blue Nile LD11509211) looks amazing. 95% of all twinning wisps are not visible to the naked eye, so those are alright. It seems there is a very small part of the twinning wisp a bit more pronounced than usual, but it shouldn’t be visible in person. Nice find!
If you decide to pull the trigger, please, let me know how you like it when it arrives. Also, if you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me anytime. I’m ready to help.
If we compare both those diamonds to this diamond:
Blue Nile LD11373814
How is this one compared to the others in brilliance?
The 2.68ct stone is still a better choice (also in terms of brilliance). The medium fluorescence on F color might be an issue (as I stated previously).
Many thanks!
