OK.. .I had an earlier post where I listed 2 princess cuts, but didn''t have much information other than their weights and table & depth info... I went to another jeweler today (referred to by a really good friend) and we came to a decision between 2 diamonds that fit within my budget. He''s going to custom make the ring/setting and there will be 8 diamonds (total of only about .40 on the setting... but I digress, here''s the scoop on the diamonds. I really need some help, because I''m starting to get close to crunch time here.
First diamond:
1.20CT
6.05x5.51x4.22
Clarity: VS1
Color: E
Depth - 76.5%
Table - 74%
Crown - 11.7%
Pavilion: 45.9%
Girdle: Very think to sl. thick polished
culut: none
Flourescence: None
Polish: very good
symmetry: Good to very good
EGL cert from Los Angeles
Price: $7800 out the door (incl tax & everything.)
Second diamond:
1.56ct
6.28x6.2x4.57mm
Depth - 72.8%
Table - 74%
Clarity - SI3
Color - F
Crown - 12.7%
Pavilion - 55.4%
Girdle - Thin to medium polished
Culet: none
Polish: very good
Symmetry - Good
EGL cert from L.A.
Price: $7100 out the door (incl tax & everything...)
So... looking at them both they both look nice. The SI3 has a small dark crystal or something in the center of the face, which sucks, but I can''t see it with the naked eye. They''re both very clear and not yellowish at all, compared to some H''s I saw... nice sparkle too. I''m concerned about the table being a bit bigger than the cut (which I''m told is within range for a princess?) Also there are no windows (according to the jeweler) which is what he says he looks for....
are these good? the $7100 is much more what I was looking to spend. and I know she''ll love it either way, but as a typical guy I want to make sure I''m getting the best deal I can.
