Hi Flower-

Sounds like a fun project. As for these stones, is there any way you can get pictures? Also, do you have color/clarity on either one? That would sway my opinion a little. I also know that when I picked my pear, I ended up selecting my slightly deep (65.1%) stone over a class 1A that was bigger! It really came down to seeing the two side by side.

Good luck!

Siamese Kitty, thank you very much for your post.
oops! I forgot to write the color and clarity,

No1 is H /S12
No2 is D/SI2

about picture, the vendor dosen''t have tem right now but will send me later.

Siamese Kitty, so you mean deep one and class 1A is looks bigger?
how can I check if the stone is class 1A or not?

Flower-

The 1A cut grade parameters I''m talking about are on Dave Atlas''s site: http://www.gemappraisers.com/oldcutgraderules.asp. From my personal point of view, I might ask the vendor about that feather on stone #1, and see if it poses any durability risk (I wonder what edge it''s on-not the tip?). Also, I''m a little biased, but I do like the D color better. Fancy shapes definitely show more color than rounds, which is not a bad thing, just your preference.

Hope this helps!

thanks for the Dave''s URL.
I had check he''s site but didn''t noticed the page.
Ummmmmmmmm. sounds like the NO1 ( even No2 ) not the good by the No
maybe I will ask to get picture because it''s just cost $45 for shipping the stone for the WF.
thanks again!
