Say I compare the following 2 Emeralds:
1) 1.58 carat, 67.3 depth, 61.0 table, thin to thick girdle, LWH = 7.52 x 5.91 x 3.98
2) 1.69 carat, 65.6 depth, 65.0 table, med to slightly thick girdle, LWH = 7.38 x 6.27 x 4.11
My question is, will #2 look noticeably larger? If so, by approximately what percentage?
I've read that depth percentage (lower) table (higher) and girdle are 3 factors that determine relative size (to the naked eye) of 2 comparable diamonds. My real question is will a lower depth (65.6 vs 67.3) and higher table (65.0 vs 61.0) be noticeable, or are the values too close to warrant differentiation?
All else equal, the carat weight is 7.0% greater. The LxW is only 4.1% greater. If the diamond sizes will look approximately equal, then I will purchase #1, which is 2500 cheaper (same color, same clarity).
