Hi all,
We''re new to this forum and pretty much to diamonds in general. In searching for an EC stone for our e-ring, here are two stones that we fell in love with. Can you guys give us an opinion about the stones and whether the prices quoted are fair? We favor stone #2, but have been told that a thin girdle is no good. We were also told the depth % is rather high, but it seems (at least to us) to create the illusion that you can look forever into the stone.
We tried to compare prices with stones of similar specs but stone #2 seems to be an unusual cut. We didn''t find anything similar to it... or maybe we just don''t know what we''re looking for.
Does this mean that this is an undesirable stone?
Thanks in advance for any help/opinions/advice/suggestions!
