Another "opinions" thread

Thoughts on this?

I'm comparing this to a 1.53 I/SI1 GIA XXX stone. This one is a 1.51 I/VS2 AGS 000 Stone. They are the same exact price.

I've heard that AGS000 is a better judge of cut? The HCA is also XXXV on the 1.53, and it's XVVV on this one. Do those Very-Goods in Fire and Scintillation make a huge difference?

Also, the table % of the other stone is 57% and this one is 55%. I favor the smaller table because I'm thinking there will be more "sparkle" in the outside of the crown, is that a safe assumption?

The AGS report says the table is 55.9% so you probably won't notice that much difference.

It's a great stone. Don't worry about EX vs VG on HCA.

I would ask JA if they consider it to be a high, mid, or low I color.
