Hi folks,
First time posting, but I've been lurking since starting my search. You guys rock (pun intended).
So, I'm in the process of designing an e-ring for my GF with a local jeweler. I decided pretty early on that I wanted to go with an asscher for the center stone. However, after reading quite a bit online (including here), I came across the Octavias and was blown away. Although it's obviously not their first choice, the jeweler is willing to set an Octavia if that's what I want and I buy one online (from GOG obviously, since they are the only place selling them).
That said, I ordered one with GOG last week, just waiting for them to have it inscribed with the certificate number. However, now I'm wondering if the other, similar Octavia is a better stone (in terms of fire and brilliance). I'll probably call GOG tomorrow to ask them to compare the two for me, and maybe even see if they'd do one of their video comparisons, but I'm hoping the PS folks here might be able to read the ASET/DiamXray images better than I can.
Here are the two stones:
Thoughts?
