Hi, neither of those is really great. Try to stick to these parameters:

table 54-57

depth 60-62

crown angle 34-35

pavilion angle 40.6-41

girdle thin, medium, slightly thick

polish and symmetry: very good to excellent

cut: excellent (GIA), ideal (AGS)

Of those two, I guess I''d prefer the first due to the other being too deep which makes the diameter smaller than a 1 ct. stone should be.

I''d pick neither of those. As I said on your other post, these are better options:

Thank you cinnamon! I guess I''m just stuck on Bluenile because I like their platinum six prong setting for $600. Plus they have financing through Bank of America which my FFI and I use... I haven''t forgotten your wonderful WF suggestions, though!! Thank you!!
