Yekutiel confirmed that the 2.5 had more fire and 2.62 had more brilliance and that both are winners he insisted I pick one of those and take it to him for setting and since I may be trading in my studs as well, he will find me a pair of great 1.5-2ct studs for the future
So now, the big challenge: we just have to pick one! Anyone have a vote for one over the other since I have no idea whether more fire or more brilliance is better? lol
