F.Longstocking Rough Rock Total Posts: 34 Last Post: 10/10/2006 Member Since: 7/13/2006	Hi Everyone! I FINALLY chose a diamond, but now I'm second guessing myself. Is there anything to worry about, specifically the girdle? I had an option of spending $500 more for a 1.21 stone that measured 6.88 in diameter. Visually, they look identical in size... and several people (NON-PSers included) said to save the money. I would like to see your opinions! Thank you so much! Round H&A, AGS0 1.147 ct. Diameter 6.74 avg (6.73 - 6.75 x 4.12 mm) Depth 61.1% Table 56.5% Crown Angle 34.7 Crown Height 1.01mm/15.1% Pav. Angle 40.7 Pav. Depth 2.89mm/42.9% Culet Size 0.02mm/0.3 Girdle Min 1.3 = MED Girdle Max 1.9 = SL. Thick Star/Upper Ratio 55:45 I color VS2 From what I've learned from this forum, I'd be crazy not to list the other diamond's specs. So here they are: Also H&A, AGS0, I and VS2: 1.210 ct Diameter: 6.88 avg. (6.86 - 6.89 x 4.22mm) Depth 4.22mm/61.3% Table 55.5% Crown Angle 34.8 Crown Height 1.07mm/15.5% Pav. Angle 40.8 Pav. Depth 2.97mm/43.1% Culet .02mm/0.4 Girdle Min 1.0 = thin Girdle Max 1.3 = medium Star/upper ratio 56:44 This is from AGS certificate for the 1.147ct. ************************************************************************************ Pippilotta Delicatessa Windowshade Mackrelmint Efraim's Daughter Longstocking.

I wouldn't worry about the girdle with either of them. I think there would be a small visual difference comparing them side by side, but not a noticeable difference with the diamonds alone. There really needs to be about a 20% difference in diameter before there is a noticeable difference. Whether that is worth the price difference is something only you can decide.
