Comparing two ACAs

[pinklemonadegurl]

If one compares two ACAs, and their crown angles are .1 different, and .1 different in pavillion, table is exactly the same, will they be in effect the same performing/looking stone? Both are J VS2-the first stone is with me still. But WF has kindly acquired one a wee bit bigger for me to consider. The 2.228 is 8.41mm x 8.39 x 5.19 and the larger 2.53 is 8.77x8.79x5.39. I am trying to research and frankly, the information you experts/analyzers provide OVERwhelms my thought processes....

 

[skypie]

well they could look different based on the types of inclusions

 

[pinklemonadegurl]

The larger stone is actually cleaner, with only two inclusions. Thank you. I am driving myself batty....

If you’re overwhelmed by the overanalysis, you are the perfect candidate for an ACA ... every stone has it’s own personality but it’s extremely unlikely there would be any visible difference in performance .. and you’ve been advised about the inclusions already .... all the ACAs are top performers You can’t go wrong ... just pick (the bigger) one and you’re good!

Thank you kmoro. Lol. I feel like a novice mathematician/scientist trying to discriminate all of the info. As this is a "one and done " no upgrade ever ring, I want to be sure it's what I want....

Pinklemondadegurl, ask WF to assess & compare their body tones including providing you with pavilion up pictures & a comparison video. While I agree a lot of ACA's perform quite similar to each other and the extremely tiny difference in angles should not change that. Just confirm body tone & which one faces up whiter. If all is equal, if the cost is within budget, I would go for the bigger one.

Just curious - did WF get another stone in for you or was this one just added to their inventory?

Is it possible for you to post the specs on each diamond? If I remember correctly, the 2.228 had great numbers on it!

 

[pinklemonadegurl]

They had a stone coming in.( but Brittany knew I wanted something similar, just larger) And now it's on reserve as I'm sending the 2.228 back to compare. Brittany ( and Vera) have been a delight to work with-more and more anxious to choose. Because the 2.228 J is SO white, I'm not the least but afraid to consider another. The numbers are uncannily close. I'm beyond excited!

 

[pinklemonadegurl]

@ccuheartnurse Yes! She is going to do that for me when this stone goes back. I appreciate your input!

Go for the 2.53ct!. since you will gain .38mm in diameter. both stone are very similar in proportions.

 

[pinklemonadegurl]

@Dancing Fire my thoughts exactly....

 

[MissGotRocks]

Yes, you'll have to see the videos but the 2.53 is tempting! Fingers crossed for you!

 

[pinklemonadegurl]

Thank you @MissGotRocks. There was a sudden death in my daughter's extended family so a 3 year old g-daughter is keeping me preoccupied this weekend. But, ugh, can't wait to see comparison side by sides of the stones....

 

[Dancing Fire]

@Dancing Fire my thoughts exactly....

I love the specs on both stones. ask WF to compare the color between the two stones.

 

[chamois]

Another vote for the 2.53ct. Get them to double check for eye clean to your standards.

[pinklemonadegurl]

I've chosen the 2.53 on the right. The 2.228 was incredibly white in person. Brittany at WF assured me the 2.53 performed and looked same. Setting will be a custom WF in 18kwg. I've also ordered him an 8mm Benchmark 14kwg brushed and shiny edged band with a hearts and arrows .08 stone to surprise him. I'm very excited!!!! I couldn't recommend WF enough. They rock!!!

 

[pinklemonadegurl]

I see a wee but more tint in the body of the 2.53 but I'm not going to lose my mind over it.

 

[MissGotRocks]

Can't wait to see these new rings! Congrats!

 

[Crazie4Cuts]

I’m glad you made a decision! So excited to see the 2.53 on your finger! Can you let us know which setting you decided on? You mentioned a 18kt white gold custom, is WF providing you with CADs or is it one of their settings they have available online?

 

[pinklemonadegurl]

@MissGotRocks Thank you so much!

@Crazie4Cuts Thank you too! A Victor Canera lookalike....was torn-to side stone or not to side stone but opted for plain plus diamond detail on the basket. Just sooo excited

 

[MissGotRocks]

Should be gorgeous - I am excited for you!!
