GIA cert.
Square Emerald Cut
Measurements: 6.49x6.46x4.45

Table: 64%
Depth: 68.9%
1.49ct.
F-VS2

I looked at this stone yesterday along with a 1.59ct., 6.39x6.41x4.49, table=61%, depth= 67%, G/VS1, P/S =X/VG for $10,500... and the F stone just had more pop and brilliance even though the P/S are lower. Side by side, the smaller F just looked better. Both looked like great cuts.

I like both stones... What do you all think?

HELP!

Welcome Assherman

Storm is the resident Asscher expert around these here parts, so I would recommend you wait for a response from him. But, having read enough of his posts, he''s going to ask you for pictures pictures pictures. Numbers are good, but in fancy cuts pics tell a lot more. He''ll want to see the patterns. He''ll likely ask you if you can get an ideal scope to see if there is much light leakage.

Can you get any of these?

I''ll agree that the first priority is you and your eyes...there may be something special about the smaller stone that numbers and even pics don''t show.

The P/S good/good concerns me...and I personally like the table % on the larger stone better.

But what the heck do I know? It''s all about what dances right in front of your eyes. I am doubtfult that anyone will grab your ring, whip out a loupe, and shout, "I SEE POLISH IRREGULARITIES!!!"

Wow...I didn''t notice until now...nice mm spread on the "little" one! It faces up bigger than the "bigger"! Yummy.

It does indeed. I''d love to see some pics. The P/S is the only thing that has me a little concerned, but I will wait to see what Storm says.
