Neither. #1''s table is too big and it''s way too deep. #2''s table is too big and its depth is still deeper than I''d like to see. Both are going to face up much smaller than the carat you''re paying for.

Burger: I have a suggestion, put your budget #s into the "price comparison" search engine at the top of the page. There you will see the carat weight in your price range. Also keep in mind that you will be paying a premium to get the 1 ct. Maybe look at something a little less than the 1ct.

Where can you find a nice 1 carat princess for $4000 - $5000? I have been looking aorund and don''t see anything in that price range?

Also, is there any way to get a nice 1.5 carat either round or princess in the $4000 - $5000 range.

well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder here...but for my eyes, there is nothing in the 1.5 range for 4-5 that i have seen.

Those three look waaay better than the first ones you listed. You probably need to see all of them in person as each stone is going to perform (ie brilliance) differently. Prices aren't bad either. I think maybe #1 would be worth seeing.

Edited to add: Maybe see #2 as well if you can. Those girdles are important for princesses.

You might want to call or e-mail the vendors for those two, to find out their process for seeing the stones/getting more info.
