Well, I'm not an expert by any means, but I recently purchased a radiant cut diamond (square brillant) and was told to try to go for depths under 70 if possible, although radiants are different. This lower depth will of course make the diamond look bigger. Diamond #2 has a better depth from everything I've heard. However Diamond #1 is a G vs. I, which is a much better color. I would say those are the two biggest factors. As many people have said on these chats over and over, you are the only one who can see the two stones side by side---which one jumps out at you???

Good luck!!!
