#2 just going by the specs

Thanks for that #2 is about US$700 more but the online jeweller by looking at those pics was telling me that #1 is better because it has better arrows and hearts

Hard to say based on these photos.
#1 looks better to me

Upon closer look, these photos don't look right me, especially #2.
The contrast, table reflection, light return under the table... It is just not what I expect from a 56/34.5/40.6

[QUOTE="flyingpig, post:
I was thinking how do some other diamonds online look better with inferior specs. Do you think they have just sent me any photo to shut me up. They keep saying they don't have any more photos and that the diamonds are in new York and myself and the online store are in Australia. What do you think?

What is your budget? Maybe its time to look at other vendors that have more access to data. Here's a range of options that span a couple thousand range in budget.

(note currency and these won't include taxes, which I think are about 20%)

Your internet jeweler might be able to get these. JA, however, will provide an idealscope image when then have them. You get 3/requester.

Do not work with this vendor.
How the heck this vendor is able to tell you #1 is better because it has better hearts, based on these photos alone?
Second, did you take the photos of the GIA reports? or are they from the vendor as well? If the reports are provided by the vendor, it really is a extremely poor way to present products and reports to the customer.
Third, with more digging, I was able to find #2 from bluenile.

How the heck this vendor is unable to provide more photos when I can find?

Unfortunately, yes

I took the photos of the reports but they also wouldn't give me the gia report # and hid all report numbers on their website after i had previously mentioned i had seen another stone they had on another site.
Thank you for your help & information.
I appreciate it.
