Again, I do not have the crown and pavillion percentages or angles. Based upon this info, which one do you believe is the best? Which has the best spread? The price between them all is not big and so this is not really what I am looking at. They range from 15,000 to 15,8000. What are your comments?

Thanks! I am getting close..I have been looking for 5 months...

No crown and pavilion = no opinion.
Read the tutorial on table depth %, then if you want to play the odds (they will be about 8:1 against you) then roll the octa hedron.

My advice is to get the crown and pavillion angles - or else don't even consider the stones. A poorly cut diamond is a classic way to get ripped off.

I spent 7 months looking, and found just what I was looking for in the end. In fact, the proportions only served to confirm the opinion of my own eyes! (see post "advice on a stone!" below)
