Hi everyone, First time posting. Thanks in advance for all inputs.

I am deciding btw 2 rocks.

1) Colour F, VS2
TOTAL DEPTH PERCENTAGE = 61.8%
TABLE SIZE PERCENTAGE = 56%
CROWN HEIGHT PERCENTAGE = 15.4%
CROWN ANGLE = 34.9°
PAVILION DEPTH PERCENTAGE = 43.3%
PAVILION ANGLE = 40.9°
GIRDLE THICKNESS = Medium
GIRDLE FINISH = Faceted
CULET = none
LOWER HALF LENGTH PERCENTAGE = 80%
STAR LENGTH PERCENTAGE = 55%

This gives a HCA score of 1.7

2) colour G, VS2
TOTAL DEPTH PERCENTAGE = 62.1%
TABLE SIZE PERCENTAGE = 55%
CROWN HEIGHT PERCENTAGE = 16%
CROWN ANGLE = 35.3°
PAVILION DEPTH PERCENTAGE = 43%
PAVILION ANGLE = 40.7°
GIRDLE THICKNESS = Thin to Medium
GIRDLE FINISH = Faceted
CULET = none
LOWER HALF LENGTH PERCENTAGE = 75%
STAR LENGTH PERCENTAGE = 50%

HCA Score 1.4

First of all, not an easy task to take nice photos since both were already set on a ring. Both diamonds looks great under ideascope (with difficulties given both on a ring) with nice arrows. Noticed the fatter arrows due on one due to 75% LGF. Optically hard to tell them apart. Fatter arrows is slightly bigger diamond but colour G.


Any thoughts ?

Are you able to take Ideal-Scope images? From these photos, I like the second one better.

I like the second one better as well, but are those inclusions under the table at 6:00?

I tried but unable to take a decent photo. Both have beautiful arrows. Down to Fat vs Skinny arrows. Plus colour G (bigger diamond too) vs colour F (smaller diamond).
Also all cut parameters on skinny arrow diamond are within the “ideal cut” range, whereas few parameters on the fatter arrows diamond are out of the “ideal” range

I’m not a fan of the fat arrows and I would prefer higher color anyhow.
