crown ?
Pav ?
grd thin to slightly think

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----------------

it is always harder to find a "mind clean" stone than a eye clean stone.

I have looked at both. I a copy of the reports for both, with the spec.s (table, depth, etc.) as listed above.

As far as the EGL USA, I don't know for sure. I know it's EGL, it says so. They are in L.A., and buy their diamonds in Antwerp.

Does the EGL really make that big of difference?----------------
