Diamond Comparison

[mqu1414]

I'm looking at a couple of different diamonds that I 'm looking at:

.49 ct Round diamond, GIA Cert, H color, SI1 clarity, Ideal cut, Depth 61.3%, Table 57%, Symmetry-Excellent, Polish-Excellent, Girdle-Thin to Medium, Cutlet-None, Flourescence-None, Measurements-5.08 x 5.10 x 3.12mm for $1,058 Crown 35.2 or 15.3% Pavillion 40.1 or 42.3%

.48ct Round diamond, AGSL cert, H color, SI1 clarity, Ideal cut, Depth 61.4%, Table 56%, Symmetry-Ideal, Polish-Ideal, Girdle-Thin to Medium, Cutlet-None, Flourescence-None, Measurements-5.04 x 5.06 x 3.10mm for $1,061 Crown 35.25%, Pavillion 42.9%

.48 ct Round diamond, GIA cert, G color, VS2 clarity, Premium cut, Depth 61.7%, Table 59%, Symmetry-Very Good, Polish-Very Good, Girdle-MD-STK, Cutlet-None, Flourescence-Faint, Measurements-4.97 x 5.04 x 3.09mm for $1,167

Thank you for your help,

The first two could be very nice. I''d eliminate the 3rd right off just because the table''s out of the ideal range. We''d need a bit more info, though (crown and pavilion data) to really judge.

I just called Blue Nile and will have the information soon.

Thanks for the help!

I agree with Hest88; the first two look to have potential, but definitely eliminate the 3rd stone.

Compared to the first two, it has inferior polish/symmetry, a table outside AGS0 range, and faint fluor. Whie faint fluor isn''t a problem, that and the other element should LOWER the price of the stone compared to the other two. Not only isn''t the price lower, it''s HIGHER than the others.

I have updated the first two diamonds for the crown and pavillion numbers.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the PM.

The first two still look pretty good and I think it''s pretty much a toss-up.
