I'd go for 2, assuming it is eye clean. "Where ever you go, there you are."

EX/EX for the second stone, a more symmetrical stone in diameter and the fact that the angles seem more inline would make me vote for that one...plus yes the girdle is better than stone #1. I would go with #2 as well--or keep looking and keep that one in mind. Though a .7 HCA is pretty darn good. ________________________________ "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein

icelovr Cut Rock Total Posts: 131 Last Post: 8/18/2004 Member Since: 8/28/2003	Thanks everyone - I too was leaning toward #2 - but the dealer said they were both equally as nice??!! - I'm not at all sure about Sarins w/ a range and the #'s didn't seem to me to work - so I'm glad to hear you all feel the same way - by the way these are both GIA certs - go figure - I've been told VG vs EX is just being too picky - of course this is from dealers, so I'm not really surprised. I think #2 might be sold - he's getting back to me. Thanks again for all the help - Kristi
