You eyes will not readily detect which one is brighter, but the Ideal-Scope helps to make the difference very clear. David S. Atlas GG(GIA), ASG, Sr. Mbr. NAJA www.datlas.com

imspqr Rough Rock Total Posts: 6 Last Post: 3/5/2003 Member Since: 2/26/2003	OK; so the 1.77 appears on paper to be the better of the two althoguh I thought the 1.60 had more shine to it. Also, what am I to make of the "sticker price" of the two? I was told that the sticker price is the "market value" of the diamond. The strange thing was the price for the 1.77 was $19K and the price for the 1.60 was $27K. Any comments on what is printed on the sticker/UPC label? Both stores are reputable dealers in the area. Thanks
