Help please!, choosing my stone

[dfreak]

I have 2 stones to choose from, they are princess cut and i know there''re not "ideal proportions" for fancy cuts, but take a look of these 2:

0.78ct
G
VS2
5.22x5.12mm
68.8 Depth
73 Table
$2,523
EGLUSA


0.75ct
F
VS1
5.25x5.23mm
67.6 Depth
77 Table
$2,777
GIA

Im on a tight budget so im looking for quality/price.

the table for the 0.75 is a lot over the "ideal range" it might take some fire off the stone. I dont know how true that is. the cut for the 0.78 is just "perfect" acording to the AGS princess cut values. unfortunaly I cant see any of these stone before getting them so I''ll have to go for the values.

help! which one would you choose and why?

thanks

While they aren't ideals, they may not be totally bad either.

For the same money, you can choose from one of several professionally evaluated Princess Cuts. You'll get complete information on any of the diamonds, and you can chat with the Vendors while they look at the stone for you.

www.dirtcheapdiamonds.com has several in the same price and size range in their Signature Series collection.

White Flash has a .92, G, SI2 available as well. http://www.whiteflash.com/princess/Princess-cut-diamond-561128.htm# Price Scope priced at $2717.

Thanks! I took a look of those. nice one. unfortunely I have to decide between those two. the source of those stones are reliable and good to trust.

I just need to know if the best thing to do is to sacrifice from F to G because of the better table that the 0.78 has. I know cut is more important than color, specially is you are going from F to G. but that's just me.

I would like to know what your opinions are on these 2 stones. Im getting engaged pretty soon and I need to pick one.

Thanks again

I am partial to GIA/AGS over EGL

Thanks, I read a lot about the whole GIA vs EGL thing going on too. but as far as I know EGL is not the same as EGLUSA, actually EGLUSA is trying to separate EGL because the want their own trademark, since EGLUSA is more reliable than EGL overseas and EGLUSA it's being as strict as GIA. does anyone else know more about this being true?

any other opinions? what table should I go for? I know it's hard without looking at the diamonds, that's why im asking some help from you guys

thanks again
