valeria101 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 14,048 Last Post: 4/30/2006 Member Since: 8/29/2003	One more vote for the Asscher.... now, you ask "why" That's the hard part, because there is not extensive presentation anywhere on the part of the web I know of explaining these things in enough detail to make a stand-alone shopping guide. In short, I wish there was a decent visual presnetation of all these stones. After all, diamonds are bough for their good looks, not the professional page design of the GIA certs Since there is not, the most I can do is look at size and weight, shape (the fist princess is rectangular, and that is not what the standard facet design of the princess was meant to accomodate) and try hard to make an educated guess of how bright these might be. Hope the 0.2 worth helps a little. Can the seller provide photos or IdealScope ? Ana "The greatest experts are only as good as the sum total of what they have seen." [Souren Melikian]

HOWEVER, it's pretty likely that all three are pretty cruddy...with the tables so much bigger than the depths like that, it's probably going to be a flat stone. Physically and visually. ______________________________ Stewart says: I'm good enough. I'm smart enough. And doggon'it, people like me.
