2nd one is 600 dollars more than the first one. Both ideal/excellent proportions. Is there a red flag for clarity in the cheaper one or why do you think its cheaper (bar the medium blue fluor)?

Is the second GIA report the first video, SKU:7824777 ? I do think that one is a bit worrying. The first stone, with the feather as the grade-setting inclusion, I like the clarity plot of better, and I think it is the second video you linked.

Well spotted. Wont let me edit past 45 mins. but yes the certs are the wrong way around in the post

With 7824777, in your opinion is it peppered with too many twinning wisps etc that it almost goes hazy?, and not eye clean

I'm pretty sure they would both be eye-clean to my* eyes. I* dont see any haziness. Would be nice to know if the grade setting inclusion is the
twinning wisp that is on the table or if its ALL the twinning wisp in general.

I dont know if its the photo setup, or if the stone might be tilted, or if its actually the cut of the stone, but I dont really like how the not-available stone looks.

I prefer the proportions of the 34/40.8 but the whisps are concerning. The JA page won't load for me so I can't confirm its hazy or not, but that would be my concern.

Also not that I am overly worried with medium fluor but you need to check for that being hazy or milky as well. Sometimes fluor combined with certain inclusions can magnify the issue.

With the 41 pavilion you risk GIA rounding and averaging you taking one or more of the actual PA values over 41.2. Also some of the actual CA values are likely less than 33.5.

I'd want to see an IS image before committing to either stone assuming no clarity issues.

Agreed. I dont know what's going on with the second stone that's linked, but the cut looks weird to me, and the video doesnt make it look better.

Thanks, what do you think of the first stone, with the IS image provided
