ASET OPTION 2.


I ask because, as a novice, the stats are so similar, the L/W so similar... just wondering how the pricescope experts would decide if they had to. These stones are not current. I am just using them as examples to help me learn. If you have the time that would be great.

Both are beautiful however I perfer the look of #2. I don''t think you could go wrong with either. Which one are you leaning towards?
 
They are both excellent, it would depend on your own taste in my opinion which to choose with stones of this calibre. If you were actually going to be considering either of these diamonds then a comparison video could be helpful in order to help you choose between them.

They are not the same LW ratio, I prefer the ASET of the first one, because I prefer to minnimize the obstruction near the culet (the blue area near the culet), I want to see all 4 major mains completely in phase with each other and unobstructed.
That being said this may not be readily noticeable when viewing in real life, as both are very well cut stones.

Thanks - the only reason I am leaning towards #2 is because its the same price but a little bigger and a teeny bit squarer.... I just wasn''t sure if I was missing anything else...hmmm exciting either way i guess!
but bigger is better when it comes to your first (and possibly only) diamond!

Cheers CCL. The second one is a teeny bit squarer and bigger.... so for the same price, I think i like that one... It''s great to learn how to tell the difference. Thanks again.
