2 ACA Princess Cuts Help Me Understand the Difference

[Philly123]

Hello everyone,

After some research and reading several threads here, I've decided to purchase a ACA princess cut diamond from White Flash. I understand it's hard to go wrong with any of the ACA diamonds.

My (probably dumb) question is why two ACA diamonds can look so drastically different. For example, there are two similarly-sized ACA princess diamonds.

Diamond 1:




Diamond 2:



These two diamonds look drastically different to my eyes. The Aset images look especially different. Diamond 1 appears more symmetrical based on the images.

Can someone help me understand which diamond is preferable (assuming one is)? I'm a bit lost. Thanks!

To be honest, your best bet is to call WF, have them pull the stones and tell you what they see. They will do there best to explain each stones personality and help you figure out which one you might like better. You are way ahead of the game since you've already decided on ACAs...now it's just getting down to the little personality differences.

Agree with tyty, but I wonder if what you're seeing has to do with the difference in number of chevrons?

Thanks EB. I think that's a large part of what I'm seeing.
