Hello,
I've been looking for a round ideal cut stone for an engagement ring and have absorbed the amount of information that makes me dangerous but not useful so was hoping I could get some additional perspectives.
I recently discovered the HCA tool and have been using that to screen options. There are two below I wanted to ask about which received a .9 and one which received a .7
I know that these are considered better for a pendant or earring setting but wanted to understand why that might be, and how this knowledge might be applied to these one of these stones which would end up in a solitaire setting.
These both appear to be within tight ranges of what performs well for a round stone, but I'd hate to get this close and then buy something that is unideal for a ring due to a nail head, fisheye, or other light issues I'm unable to identify as a layperson.
the 1.61 ct stone is ~500 cheaper at around 17.3k as compared to 17.8k so any commentary on the value of these would be appreciated as well.
Thanks in advance for your perspective!
