Comparing 2 Princesses

[jbl1120]

I posted yesterday about a Sirius Ideal Princess I am looking at. Well, now I have one to compare it with. One is smaller than the other, but that is not my primary concern. Plese take a look at the specs below and let me know your thoughts on these two! I notice the table is much lower on #1. Is this meaningful to the experts out there? Thank you in advance!

Sounds like you might have two different animals there.

For princesses, some think a small table is best. If you look at Superbcert's princesses, they score well on the BrillianceScope and have ~55% tables. If you look at Dave Atlas's cut charts, the 55% table is too small to get his top cut grade. (I am pulling these numbers from memory so forgive me if I'm off.) All this shows is that there is more than one way to skin the princess cat.

It would be best if you could look at these two side-by-side and compare the look. If one considers only pricing I'd say that your first stone must be more lively! All you can do is look for yourself and see if the difference is worth the premium to you.

Plus with no crown angles/height and pavilion angles/depth on the 2nd stone there are more questionmarks surrounding it than the first.
