Hi Newbuyer,

I plugged data for the first diamond into the Cut Adviser - only 6.2 (Fair) result. Pavilion is too deep.

It is difficult to evaluate the second one since GIA doesn't provide info on crown and pavilion. However, with 60% table and 62.3% depth there is a good chance that it is a deep cut too.

I wouldn't risk to recommend neither one of them unless you have seen many other diamonds (including ideal cuts) and happy with their look and price.

Hi,
We don't know how much those two diamonds are but if you would go back to the home page here on Pricescope and click on "search by visual performance", I think you would find several diamonds within your requirements and price range that would out perform the two diamonds above.
Also, don't get in a big hurry to pick out this most important and long lasting diamond.
