5 Princess cuts - going to look today - thoughts?

Hi all,

I previously posted a topic about some of these princess cut diamonds, and the comments were great (http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=24532&pageNo=1&num=30).. I was wondering if anyone else had any thoughts before I go and look at them today in the store?

1.58  F  VS1   72.2  67.0  G  VG     6.58*6.50*4.69  (1.01)  Medium to Slightly Thick
 
1.70  F  VS2   70.8  73.0  VG  G     6.72-6.58*4.66   (1.02) Slightly Thick to Thick (faint fluorescence)

1.59  F  VVS2  71.2 69.0  VG  G      6.55*6.50*4.63 (1.01) Unknown right now


Also, any comments on how to best judge them?  (My eye is anything but trained for this.)

Thanks again!

Sorry, the first is the depth, the second is the table.

I understand about the large girdles affecting the size/proportions.. but I narrowed my search to those with a 6.5 x 6.5 or larger length/width.. you would be suprised (at least 1 was) how many are 6.1-6.2 on a side..

Also, lookin on the AGA chart (or whatever it is called) about depth/table.. the following one fits under the very best category (the crown, etc. might move it outside of that, but i don't know that yet).


1.58  F  VS1   72.2  67.0  G  VG     6.58*6.50*4.69  (1.01)  Medium to Slightly Thick
 
This one also seems to rank up there..

1.59  F  VVS2  71.2 69.0  VG  G      6.55*6.50*4.63 (1.01) Unknown right now

Can you explain what you mean by the numbers not being that great?  Everything I have read seems to indicate that these (or at least the first) are about as good as it gets.  For example, the depth is between 64-75.. the table is between 62-68.. (see the chart at http://www.gemappraisers.com/chartFrameset.htm).  And I have also read that the table should be a few % less than depth.. all this seems to be there.. so I am a little confused.

Thanks!

Thanks,
George
