Red Flag - second one - polish & symetry FAIR.

This is a great forum. The tutorial is really worth the read.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the first sounds an HRD and the second I'm pretty sure it's an IGI Antwerp.
#1... If it's HRD, then there's an error. A stone with 'Very good' proportions has 55.5% to 63.9% depth. Sounds a very shallow diamond, possibly with a fisheye effect. I would pass. DEFINITELY.
FORGET #2. It's OVERLY deep and faces up like a 0.80... Basically you're paying for something you cannot see.

I suggest you to take a look at sites like superbcert.com, niceice.com and whiteflash.com: you'll learn how important is a good cut and all of them have some of the VERY best diamonds in the world.

Thank you both for your replies. After posting, I discovered that this site is more than a forum and have been spending time learning. Thanks again.
