Does this look like the slam dunk decision I think it is?

(And there is a tiny price break in the EGLs I believe) I'd love to know the crown info on the 1st...The second stone sounds a bit flat....But on the other hand, I prefer to stay above an H. You really need more info on #1! And there really is no way to tell which is prettier until you see them in person! ______________________________ Stewart says: I'm good enough. I'm smart enough.

Have you seen the stone? That's the best way to choose... The only thing that neurotic me would check on is the thin girdle - maybe ask where it's thin (thin corners make me nervous)... Best of luck to you! _______________________________________ "any diamond given with love is a beautiful thing"

Alexah- I'm going to see one more princess on sat and picking one that day...stay tuned for really bad pictures! ______________________________ Stewart says: I'm good enough. I'm smart enough.

Magnum Cut Rock Total Posts: 342 Last Post: 7/28/2004 Member Since: 3/26/2004	The first one looks like a decent stone, but the second one looks excellent going just by the numbers. I don't think you'd see any difference between VS1 and VS2, but there's a good chance you'd be able to see the difference between an F and an H color in a princess cut. As Alexah pointed out, the second stone is very square, which is usally very desirable in a princess. To top it off, the second stone is a very solid 1A cut according to the AGA cut grading system. If it were me, I would pay to have the second stone sent to a trusted independent appraiser, and if it's optical performance lived up to what the numbers suggest, I'd go with that one. Best of luck
