I will give strm the heads up on this thread for you.

Do you have the crown height?

The first one looks a little brighter and the second one has a little better windmills.
Both look good but the first one a little better.
Since they are both from JA you could have their gemologists take a look at them and make a recommendation.

These diamonds are actually physically with the jeweler making my setting (Quest Jewelers) for me to look at in person tommorow. I was unable to get crown height as he tried tracking down a sarin machine without much luck before this weekend. He''s probably still trying. I only know there from James Allen because the GIA reports match up.

I''m also waiting for pictures, idealscope, sarin on the following diamond from James Allen. This one I will not be seing in person tommorow as they couldn''t get it in.

ah ok
I have to run right now but I will estimate the crown height on the first later today.
Look at them in all different kinds of lighting and go with the one that speaks to you the most.
Just be sure to have something behind them, in the V of your fingers is good.
In the ring type stone holder on your finger like the first one is shown in is also great.
Looking at them in open air in tweezers is not realistic.

2nd of three

In the 12% range which is in the good range.
Pay attention to which has better fire in direct lighting.
