Deciding between Star 129, and Princess of Hearts

[brooklyngirl]

Hi!

I visited GOG yesterday, and fell in love with the star 129 and the princess of hearts diamonds

. We are looking at +/-1.3 ct. I know they''re two completely different stones, but what are your opinions on these shapes/cuts?

Thanks!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Of course, pictures would help. Put each stone on reserve and post the links.

I personally, would like to see the different shapes and cuts of the diamond.

Good Luck

I am looking at two Gelin Abaci settings:

I think this would be my first choice, but I haven''t tried it on yet...

As far as stones go, I did not find a stone that fit my specifications at GOG, but I am willing to wait for one to come in. The following 2 stones are close to my specs (~1.3 ct, E-F, VS1+)

I would prefer the Star 129 in a larger ct wt because I think the facets/flashes are kinda chaotic and small. In very large stones, I feel the normal amount of facets are too chunky and almost fake looking- I would prefer something with extra facets.

Personally, I would choose the PoH because... well... I did! lol. I wanted some round type of brilliance but did not a round.

It''s just personal preference. Do you want a round or a square? Do you want a lot of sm flashes or fewer larger ones?

At first I was intending to get an H&A round, but then I saw the star 129 and it was just a fireball, and I adore the sparkle, and it looks pretty big for it''s size. However I love shape of the PoH, and it sparkles like a round, and is also beautiful. FF prefers PoH. I am wondering which of the two would look better in the settings pictured above...
