Hi,
This is my first post here, but I''ve been reading for months. This really is a wonderful resource. Thank you to those of you that take the time to post such valuable information.
Here''s the issue, I''m on a budget and am trying the decide between the following 2 diamonds off the internet:
----------------------------------------------------
Shape: Round Brilliant
Carat weight: 0.42
Measurements: 4.86-4.89 x 2.96 mm
Cut: Ideal
Color: F
Clarity: SI1
Characteristics: Crystal, Cloud
Depth %: 60.6%
Table %: 55.4%
Crown Angle: 32.5 deg.
Crown Height: 14.4%
Pavilion Angle: 40.9 deg.
Pavilion Depth: 42.9%
Symmetry: VG
Polish: EX
Girdle: Thin to medium, faceted
Culet: 1.2%
Fluorescence: None
$702
--------------------------------------------------------
Shape: Round Brilliant
Carat weight: 0.41
Measurements: 4.83-4.90 x 2.93 mm
Cut: Ideal
Color: G
Clarity: SI1
Characteristics: Twinning Wisp
Depth %: 59.9%
Table %: 58%
Crown Angle: 33.4 deg.
Crown Height: 13.8%
Pavilion Angle: 40.8 deg.
Pavilion Depth: 42.8%
Symmetry: VG
Polish: VG
Girdle: Thin to medium, polished
Culet: None
Fluorescence: None
$643
----------------------------------------------------------
I''m told that both diamonds are eye clean. The color and carat sizes are close enough to each other that I wouldn''t notice a difference between the two. I care most about cut and would like the best cut stone. Both score well on the HCA (0.7 and 0.9 respectively), but I just can''t decide between the two. Any opinions or insights?
Thanks in advance,
George
