Hey guys,

Wanted you guy's opinions on the following two stones:

1. http://www.leibish.com/yellow-diamond/250ct-fancy-yellow-radiant-if-84801-15383
Video: http://vimeo.com/88728253

Modified Cushion Brilliant
2.50 carat
Fancy Yellow
IF
8.13x6.82x4.76
VG polish
VG symmetry
Fluor: med blue
Table: 67%, depth 69.8%



2. http://www.leibish.com/yellow-diamond/220ct-fancy-yellow-radiant-if-80071-14919
Video: http://vimeo.com/88727740

Modified Radiant Brilliant
2.20 carat
Fancy Yellow
IF
8.10x6.90x4.35
G polish
G symmetry
Fluor: none
Table: 67%, depth 63%

The 2.5 is very nice. A bit of a bowtie effect and extinction on the N/S edges but not much I think? It has a larger depth as well, but now only medium fluor. My sale agent assured me the fluro had no negative effect, and actually enhances the yellow. I only worry the color looks a bit "dirty" as oppose to a lemony sunshine color.

The 2.20 is very large face up and looks more bright, polish and symmetry bit lacking comparatively but great depth. Visually, it looks like there's a bit more windowing around the center and dark clouds around the edges then I like. And my sale agent did confirm this.

Here's a side by side comparison:
