Can't say my praises and thanks enough to all of you. I've read and learned much, but did not think I would ever post. We now I desperate... looking for comfort. I have educated myself the best I can over the last couple of months and am down to two stones. I would like to buy by Tuesday, July 6th. ADVISE WANTED SOON!:

Stone 1.

Round
1.65 ct.
G
SI2
7.67-7.6 x 4.62
depth 60.5
table 61
crown 13.9%
Pav 43.1%
Grd thin to medium
plsh good to very good
sym good
fluor none
culet none
EGL Cert.
PRICE $6,400

Stone 2.

Round
1.3
G
si1
7.05-7.12 x 4.23
dpth 60.4
tble 55
crown ?
Pav ?
grd thin to slightly think
culet none
plsh very good
symmetry good
fluor none
GIA Cert.
PRICE 6,500

I'm leaning toward #1 but my concerns are as follows: 1. is SI2, and the cut isn't as good as #2, but for the size the price is fantastic, also can I rely on the EGL cert?

I live in Los Angeles and have spent plenty of time in the jewry marts to find these stones. They are with two different vendors so I can not put them side by side.

COMMENTS GREATLY APPRECIATED !!!!!

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

I would definitely pass on number 1. Too cheap to be true. Either the SI2 is horrible, or the colour is lower than the grade, or the cut is horrible, or you are buying from someone who forgot what it cost him.

On number 2, one cannot comment. It might be reasonable, it might not. All in all, it probably is not a magnificent cut, but it could be prized according to its value.

Live long,

THIS sounds like a good contender for #2, and at least there is quite a bit more of detail available.
