I like #2 better too, but I remember a couple other people considering #1 and they said it was really gorgeous. Good luck!

#1 have them look at em side by side and tell you what they think. I think #1 has a better combination of brightness and contrast. ........... Karl has joined the diamond trade and is now posting as Karl_K |

Now it's 2:2...a dead heat. I need to make a decision by this coming Monday, Tuesday at the latest. I had someone look at the stones at Whiteflash. THey said that the 1.69 is better. Is there any chance that they are trying to upsell the stone since it is more $$$? Also when I look at the GIA grading report, it is dated from 2003. Would the stone be around that long because of some defect? Thank you for all of your input.

I do not think that WF would do anything like that......they have a great reputation, and to my knowledge they have not ever tried to steer anyone here wrong..... I would trust em....lets see what other PSers say

I am NO expert here, but what is the symmetry rating for the first one? It may be tilted in the picture, but it looks like the top half of the stone is smaller/shorter than the bottom half. Does that make any sense? Does anyone else see what I see?

I don't know much about princess cuts but if I was choosing based on the IS I'd choose #1. Just looks better to me! Good luck

I like # 1- just looks like a more sparkly stone- IS image is much nicer than # 2!!! Can you see them both in person?

#1 Mainly because of the IS image. I had to edit my post because I just saw that WF said the 1.69 is the better stone. They are extremely honest and would never recommend a stone just because it's more expensive.

Brian is the final word on diamonds at WF. See if he is available and have him call you with both diamonds in front of him. What he says about them can be taken as rock solid. Buy the one he recomends That is what Id do. ........... Karl has joined the diamond trade and is now posting as Karl_K |

If the cert is 2003 aren't the odds good that this is a stone that came back as an upgrade trade-in? It wouldn't bother me in the least, but I think there's no way that that stone has been sitting on someone's shelf since 2003. It's lovely!
