Well, I am in no means an expert, just a diamond fiend
. But IMO I think they are both equally beautiful stones. From the pics the difference in color between the ''I'' and ''F'' was noticeable, however because I am a size girl and don''t see the point in paying extra for a D,E,F stone when I find G,H,I,J,K''s etc just as beautiful, I would personally go with the larger stone. However, if your preference is for the more colorless stone then the ''F'' is gorgeous as well.
Well that was easy, go for the I SI1, bigger size and the I will face up very white. But both are gorgeous, but I'd go for the larger stone. Plus it's cheaper!!
The 1.53 has a ring of leakage under the table while the 1.90 does not. The 1.90 has a GREAT LS image...excellent.
From a light return perspective (and because it''s bigger and cheaper which is a big bonus for me!) ... I like the 1.90. Without a link to the 1.33...can''t say anything else.
Has the cut changes since the firts Regents? These looks more roundish to me.
And I second Mara about that fish eye circle - hopefully it only shows in pictures.
Couldn''t help lining up the pictures! (1.9 left, 1.5 right).
Are these non-round enough for a cushion shape? I can understand the attraction of a round-wit-a-twist too, and don''t know what you are looking for... just ''thought I''d ask. When at it, you might want to line them up with a H&A cushion - I don''t know if any on the list fits in the size and budget you are looking for, but perhaos the 1.7 cts J-VVS would. These cushions don''t seem to have such a hard time not showing that fish eye effect. Perhaps the color grade sounded ''scarry'' but in person it may turn out a nice surprise after all. Here''s the relevant portrait:
Against the 1.9 regent, this stone seems to be brighter too.
