Tbh, I would expect it to be off by 3 but I’m shocked that many think it’s more than that! I will say the pictures do reflect what I saw in person.I would not be surprised by two color grades difference, surprised by three & startled if more! Guess: H
IMHO this 'transition' of the rbc overshot - these are the true ideal [half joking, of course]
I personally love the cut and the facets, but will she?
Why are we comparing two separate rings for two different people. Are you trying to see if one is better than the other or if one is more valuable? They are two different rings- apples and oranges here. The most important thing is will the wearer love it? Will she have issues with it? It’s a beautiful stone, but will she think the same? I personally love the cut and the facets, but will she? Does she like warmer stones...what’s the return policy in case she doesn’t like it? I’m confused by the side to side comparison. Plus I’m no diamond expert AT ALL, but know whatever EGL says, you go lower on the scale.
Agreed; it’s looks to be a very clean, beautifully-faceted old cut. I don’t think the setting is doing it any favors though ... oblong halo with such stark contrasting melee ... I think that setting tricks the eye into thinking it is lower in color than it really is ... in the pictures.
Aside from all the other reasons we PSers know why you can’t go by pics, they just have wayyyy too much going on with the settings to really ‘see’ the diamonds themselves. If you take ‘all that’ out of the equation ... there really is not that much difference.

I guess you missed the part about the color. Bc egl is not reliable. That’s why.
