why are you stuck on these 2 stones ?

 

[toddfj]

Because I already paid, it''s a done deal for-- either or. I just need help with choosing "either" "or" on paper.

isn''t there a refund policy ? or maybe you can have your vendor bring in some better cut stones for you to look at.

Hi Todd,

When comparing two well cut or ideal cut diamonds to determine which is more beautiful , the truth is you have to look at them yourself as you cannot tell from the numbers.

The same truth applies in this case of two mediocre/poorly cut diamonds, in fact it is probably more important in your case.

You have to look at them to know.

Go compare them.
