Good evening reddit! I am in the market for a round engagement ring with solitaire. I have done some research and generally note that the advice for a round stone is SI1-VS2 clarity, near colorless assessment, excellent cut and no fluorescence. My budget is around 10-11K for the ring. What are your thoughts on these two stones?

I connected [diamondscreener.com](https://dimanondscreener.com) cut estimator (shoutout u / sproutworkshop!) and vs1 looks a bit more ideal, but I’m also concerned that the larger table% can affect gloss (right me if I’m wrong) . What do you all think? Anything else I need to consider? I was attracted to this one at first, but I think it’s a little too expensive.
