I'm looking at two nearly identical diamonds on the web. Both are AGS Ideal 0 certified. One has a medium blue flourescence, and the other one does not. What is surprising is that the medium blue one is $3200 and the other one is $4000.

From what I've read, I'm incline to pick the one with the medium blue flourescence since it would probably look better under normal light and saves money. I'd like to know what you think about this choice.

First diamond
Measurement: 6.02 - 5.99 x 3.69
Carat weight: 0.81
Cut: Ideal
Color: H
Clarity: VVS2
Depth%: 61.4%
Table%: 56%
Symmetry: Ideal
Polish: Ideal
Girdle: Thin to Medium, Faceted
Culet: Pointed
Fluorescence: Medium Blue

Second diamond
Measurements: 6.04x6.08x3.75
Carat weight: 0.83
Cut: Ideal
Color: H
Clarity: VVS2
Depth %: 62.0%
Table %: 55%
Symmetry: Ideal
Polish: Ideal
Girdle: Medium to slightly thick, faceted
Culet: None
Fluorescence: None

Most consumers are still being told to go by the "numbers".
