Opinions on these diamonds... pendant project for mom

Here are some diamonds I found that are within my price range.. could you please reply with which would be better? Also, I was thinking about a .5 or .6 diamond in the WF setting, but for the bezel to be as thin as possible so the diamond is more prominent. What are you opinions on the carat weight? Thanks!! #1: Shape: Round Carat Weight: 0.65ct Color: H Clarity: SI1 GIA Cut Grade: Excellent Optical Symmetry: Superior Polish: Excellent Symmetry: Excellent Fluorescence: None Culet: None Width: 5.55mm Length: 5.58mm Depth: 3.44mm Table Percentage: 56.00% Depth Percentage: 61.80% Crown ∠: 34.50° Pavilion ∠: 40.80° #2: Shape: Round Carat Weight: 0.50ct Color: J Clarity: SI1 GIA Cut Grade: Excellent Optical Symmetry: Superior Polish: Excellent Symmetry: Excellent Fluorescence: None Culet: None In House: Yes Width: 5.11mm Length: 5.15mm Depth: 3.13mm Table Percentage: 57.00% Depth Percentage: 61.00% Crown ∠: 34.50° Crown Depth: 14.50% Pavilion ∠: 40.80° Pavilion Depth: 43.00%

Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn

The difference between the 2 diamonds is approximately 700 dollars. Is it worth it for an additional .15 ct?? Any feedback is appreciated!

An extra $700 would have been prohibitive for me; otherwise, I would have chosen a larger stone. This isn't the greatest picture, but you can get an idea of the proportions from my shoulders and collarbone. ************************** "In the end, I wonder if the true movement of the world might not be a voice raised in song." -Muriel Barbary

jstarfireb Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,143 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 3/24/2007	Mine was made with the standard WF bezel, and I think the proportions are fine...it's enough of a bezel to give it some extra diameter, but not enough to overwhelm the stone. Also, I'm a tall girl (5'8") but not heavy. If your mom is on the larger side, you might want to go with a bigger stone. Hope all of this helps! ************************** "In the end, I wonder if the true movement of the world might not be a voice raised in song." -Muriel Barbary
