MSUCOM Rough Rock Total Posts: 6 Last Post: 5/11/2009 Member Since: 3/19/2009	Thank you to everyone on here! I have narrowed my search for an engagement diamond to two. I need some help deciding which one is better. Here are my choices! Diamond 1 G, SI1 Depth %: 60.5 Table %: 57.2 Crown Angle: 34.7 Pavilion Angle: 40.6 Girdle: Thin to Medium Faceted

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

Can't go wrong with either. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "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."

Diamond 1, with the smaller depth % is the smaller of the two, but has just about the same diameter. Also, the setting has an open side and is in white gold, will the I look yellow? Thank you so much again!

Maybe a "winter white", but never yellow in a great cut like this. How big are these? The larger the stone, the more the warmth may show. On the tables, both are fine, and you wouldn't really notice a big difference. The smaller table might make the stone have just a "hair" more fire, but I would not base the decision on that. Both will be gorgeous stones!

MSUCOM Rough Rock Total Posts: 6 Last Post: 5/11/2009 Member Since: 3/19/2009	Thanks for the link Ellen! I feel a lot better about the I now. My GF said that being eye clean was a major priority, and she would rather have a bigger stone and a lesser color. Therefore, I am leaning towards Diamond 2. Diamond 1 is 0.73 and diamond 2 is 0.805. Any other comments about the two?
