I'm trying to choose between 2 diamonds...

A: 1.56 carat, D color, VS1, EX, EX, EX. Medium Blue Fluorescence.

B: 1.50 carat, D color, VVS1, EX, EX, EX. Fluorescence None.

On the GIA cert., both has a slight inclusion on the Table. The one on A is said to be a "crystal" on the cert, the latter a "pin point".

On the GCAL cert, both rocks are rated Excellent in terms of Brilliance and Optical Symmetry.

B is 14% more expensive than A.

Is one grade better in Clarity and the absence of Fluoresence worth the 14% difference in price?Which one would you recommend in terms of Value for Money and Investment Value?

There is no benefit in starting two threads - if anything it decreases the chance of a sensible conversation developing. I have answered you on your other thread.
