2.40carat vs 2.51carat cushion FY

[Ramod]

Ok guys, need some expert opinions on these beautiful stones:

#1
2.40ct Fancy Yellow
Cushion Cut
SI1
7.55 x 7.32 x 4.73
VG VG None
Depth: 64.6, Table 69




#2
2.51ct Fancy Yellow
VS2
7.70 x 7.54 x 5.17
VG G Faint
Depth ? Table (~60) (GIA report TBA)




Comparison photos:



Price is quite similar, the bigger one is up by a couple thousand. Looking at the pictures the 2.40 is more yellow and has the smaller crushed ice look while the 2.51 is slightly less yellow but has a the small table/higher crown combo, and MAYBE more edge to edge larger sparkle, especially on the edges. Stones are very comparable, I'm leaning towards the 2.40 carat but just wanted your guys thoughts. Setting is going to be a micropave halo.

The one on the left faces up alot yellower , no surprise crushed ice makes stones look yellower.

I think the first set of pictures is different due to lighting or something, because they both appear close to the same color in the last pictures. I think I might lean towards the one on the right, the larger one. I like it's smaller table, too. What does David say about them?

I like the 2.4. Beautiful!!

I think people are judging based on the bad color in the first photos and they are both about the same color! So keep that in mind when you see the replies!

Hey Guys,

Thanks for all the responses! Much appreciated.

The 2.40 is indeed more yellow, even in the second pictures you can tell its more yellow and saturated. David said if he were to rank the color from 1-10, the 2.40 would be like an 8 and the 2.5 would be like a 6.

Although yes, the 2.5 has a smaller table, higher crown, less of a crushed ice appearance.
