I have learned so much from browsing this forum, but am still a novice and about to purchase my first diamond for a ring. I would really like some opinions on the CUT of these two stones. Based on the numbers, which one "should" be the prettier stone and better performer. I saw both stones, but I haven''t seen very many diamonds so I don''t trust my eyes. I am not realy concerned about size or which one looks bigger. I was a little concerned about the .5 HCA score on the G stone (some say it will have a lack of contrast) but it seemed to have a lot of sparkle and fire - even more so than the F stone with the 1.4 score. I am a little concerned about the depth of the G stone and a little concerned about the table size on the F stone. Should I be? Any thoughts or opinions on these stones would be appreciated.
