I have viewed both rings. The 2.11C is set slightly raised & the 2.18C is set lower. The Spread of the 2.18 is quiet impressive. Although there is only 2% difference in total depth, the depths make the diamonds look different. Both are beautiful but I am looking for a top performer which fractures the light beautifully. I welcome your expertise, thank you in advance.
 
What lab graded them? GIA?

Can you get idealscope images for them?
 
They are from Tiffany, I am can request Ideal scope images but I am not sure if I will receive them.

Any thoughts of the two?
 
No you won't recieve them. Keep looking. Give them the below sheet.

depth - 60 - 62% - although my personal preference is to allow up to 62.4%
table - 54- 57%
crown angle - 34- 35 degrees
pavilion angle - 40.6- 41 degrees
girdle - avoid extremes, look for thin to slightly thick, thin to medium etc
polish and symmetry - very good and above

Use the HCA to narrow once you have a few candidates that fall within the specs above.
