(Another) D vers F colour thread / Opinions on my purchase welcome (F - IF)

from the options i would probably go with the .72 D VS2
 
The two Ds are what we call "60-60" type stones. They have lower crowns and will favour white light return over spectral rainbows. The E color has more balanced proportions, but I would need to see images to evaluate and make a choice.

Between the two Ds I think the D VS1 has a lightly between degree of cut precision so I would likely go with that one. By the paper only I would lean to the E because of the more balanced cut. A good vendor should be able to call in two stones for you to choose between IMO.
 
The original one, F - IF GIA is 5486332762 in case anyone can assist in finding the pic to access symmetry - although with the concerns over table / crown angle combination for that one (58 / 36), it's likely I'll just go for one of these D colour stones.

For us laymans' I think we'll still enjoy it :D

The HCA tool allowed me to count out others that completely flopped, so it's been very much worth it to be around here
 
based ONLY on the cert I like the "E" best
 
Hello

Curious to know if this one looks more promising (on paper) ?

If not then I'll be going with the D - 0.72, although I am now a little worried by the 59 Table / 59.9 depth combo of that one, and whether it may look a little flat (?)

Cheers again!
 
36.0 could be good or could be bad - can't tell without seeing it....
you might want to ask to see both in person and just vote with your eyes...
.72 should skew more brighter and face up larger ... the .70 would skew to more fire

I had a 59/59 and it did look flat from the side. It was sparkly and had more fire than expected. I ended up exchanging because of an inclusion. If you don’t care about the side view it might still be a good choice.

That’s nice to hear about the fire. What size was your stone ? I think on a small stone like this (0.72) once set the side profile shouldn’t bother us too much, hopefully. Possibly something we’d notice more on larger stones ?

Also since my partner doesn’t really wear much jewelry (and so might like something practical) im thinking if the 59/60 sits lower than a narrower cut it could be fine for her. Don’t know if there’s any validity to that statement on sizes and percentages so small but it’s helping me justify the decision.

Overall the specs seem good I’m liking the 34.5 crown angle, 40.6 pav and I don’t think a 59 table is ridiculous for a < 1 carat stone

Good shout Freddy. For sure I want to see 2 . Already paid a deposit on a less good stone before posting here …. But I think overall it’s been saved well enough for our purposes with these questions and running the HCA’s on others

It was 1 carat. The flat didn’t bug me, it was the inclusion that had me returning the diamond.
