As far as size goes, you look at the measurements..the one that is 5.80 x 5.77 is a tiny bit larger than the one that is 5.72 x 5.72mm. But you really can't choose a princess by the numbers, unless it is an AGS Ideal cut princess. I'd take my chances on one of those. ~~~ When in doubt...don't.~~~

There isn't much in it for physical diameters but I need photographs and preferably ASET images in order to help, can you request them from the vendor? You may know you can drop to VS clarity as the other diamond rather than VVS without visual sacrifice but this is a personal preference! Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn

There isn't much in it for physical diameters but I need photographs and preferably ASET images in order to help, can you request them from the vendor? You may know you can drop to VS clarity as the other diamond rather than VVS without visual sacrifice but this is a personal preference! Agreed. Also, the cut is what makes the diamond bright and sparkly. Therefore, I'd shoot for at least Very Good symmetry. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds." -Murray N. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880 "There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things.... The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

Paul-Antwerp Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,911 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 9/3/2002	All the above posters have given you great advice. Make sure that you get some pictures of both diamonds, preferably ASET, since the cut-quality will determine how the stone sparkles, returns light and hides colour. Your question as to which looks bigger with these two examples is funny though. Recently, there was a big argument here between experts as to how too many immediately say that a bigger depth-percentage results in a smaller face-up surface. In your examples, the surface-areas are almost the same, but the depth-percentages vary seriously. It is a great example about how wrong this old-world-thinking of some regulars here is. I do wonder who gave you these cut-grades of Good for #1 and Very Good for #2. One cannot determine these based upon the numbers available. Live long, Paul Slegers Infinity Diamonds www.CraftedByInfinity.com
