Here are four diamonds and would like to the reasoning by which one is the best. Regarding color, carat, and clarity are understandable but dimensions, table, depth, and girdle are not very well understood on how they contribute to the valueof the diamond. Also if someone could hammer out the following, it would be very helpful:
1) Is a round the best cut to get over fancy cuts such as princess?
2) I heard that it is a MUST to get the diamond looked at after purchase by a thrid party. What happens if the characteristics are different? What recourse do you have? Especially if you purchase online, couldn''t they just say you swapped diamonds?
(All are princess cuts)
Diamond #1 Diamond #2 Diamond #3 Diamond #4
Carat Size 1.09 1.08 1.04 1.03
Color F G F F
Clarity VS2 VVS2 VVS2 VVS1
Depth 73.4% 69.6% 71% 74.2%
Girdle STK-TK STK-TK STK M-STK
Polish X VG VG G
Flu: n n n n
Table: 73% 76% 74% 75%
Culet: N N N N/A
Sym: G G VG G
Dim: 5.61x5.52x4.05 5.85x5.85x4.07 5.6x5.56x3.97 5.82x5.46x4.05
Thank you
