I kinda don't really like either

but if I had to chose, I pick #2

 

[alexah]

Is #2 eye-clean? From all angles at close distances?
I'm not crazy about #1 either...

Curious - what do you guys not like about these stones. This will help me in finding one that is better.

The crown height is too low on the 1.5.

Re: the 1.88, I'm not crazy about bigger tables (I prefer them in the low-to-mid 60s) & the SI2 kinda scares me, unless you're sure it's eye-clean from all angles & from close-up?

Have you looked on the Gem Appraisers website? You can get a general idea of what you should be looking for in princess cuts (go to the cut grading chart for princesses)

I'll withhold my opin til you get the sarin info

I do like the Med Bl Fluor tho - that should be nice

Final thoughts and opions!

Interesting. Maybe a little low...but it's sure going to face up very large b/c of the good depth...and I'm sure it's still going to be a nice stone. I would be VERY tempted!!!


p.s. Alexah- a little birdie told me your pin is on the way!!!

Typed info for the wrong stone!

The correct Sarin info is Crown 9.7% Paviliion 55.2%

Thanks for the input!
