Hey Joe,
Would you please tell me your thoughts on this diamond?

Planning on putting it in a yellow gold setting.
It’s well-cut and has better color saturation, but the material looks dull. Something like the option below looks much crisper and sharper. However, both diamonds are over your $6k budget. Would this diamond be $1080 better than the diamond from the other post?

I wouldn’t be terribly concerned about the missing arrow. I don’t think the cost/benefit is high enough with the 1.51 K VVS2 given the material, but it’s up to you.
The lower priced diamond looked like it didn’t have the best symmetry (I didn’t see an arrow on the right side, but maybe the picture was taken off-angle). If not for that, I would definitely lean toward the lower priced option.
