I'm doing it online and so I hope I could extract some useful information from the GCAL reports (GIA reports are available as well but don't contain much information).

The following pictures are "ENLARGED PHOTOMICROGRAPH" AND "OPTICAL BRILLIANCE ANALYSIS" results from the GCAL reports for two diamonds which are 0.79ct (top) and 0.73ct (bottom) respectively and both of them are color F, VS1, excellent cut/polish/symmetry.

GCAL%200.73.jpg

Which could hopefully be better (more beautiful)?

Many thanks in advance!
 
I guess I like the second one better, although I would definitely wait for someone more knowledgeable. I don't know a whole lot about looking at GCALs.
 
Me too. The second one seems to have a better symmetry. But the bottom view of the second one seems to have pretty dense chevrons (don't know if this is the right term or not). Not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing.
