Help! thoughts on these Radiants

[Zozye]

Both of these are for around $5000 Please share thoughts of if either of these are not worth asking for video or imaging. I know the EGL USA can be off in color & clarity but I am happy with the picture. Both come to the class 3A "US domestic average cut", but I'm ok with that given my budget and size I want. I requested a 7X5 ish (1.25-1.4 ct) I color.

Is the "Good" polish/symmetry that bad?
On the PC page about his cut it says that they are "Not a primary determining factor" But as a lay person I feel "Good isn't good". Also it looks more like a Elongated princesses cut, would that be the "extra facets not shown"? .

I know this is rather deep (77.4%!) but I have also read that numbers don't matter as much in non-rounds and they should be evaluated by eye.

Is this for you or for someone else?

Did the wearer specifically request a radiant?

 

[Gypsy]

I don't like darkness in the middle of first. Can you get ASET of second?

 

[Zozye]

It is for me, I'm placing it in yellow gold with with no side/other stones.

I'm getting a ASET of the GIA one Tuesday and a video (the first one). I'm wondering if the "Good" polish and symmetry is going to hurt too much.

The second seems super deep at 77%

Performance not stats matter.

Are you sure you can't be persuaded to do a lovely fancy yellow radiant:

Like this stone: https://enchanteddiamonds.com/diamonds/view/D112-078102426

In a nice yellow gold bezel setting like this: http://www.jewelsbygrace.com/custom-work/1-54ct-fancy-light-yellow-radiant-gia-fly-if-custom-22kt-jbg-bezel-ring#.V8t7WjUxXIU (only in 14 or 18kt yellow gold).




Just saying.

https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/radiant-cut/1.02-carat-h-color-vvs2-clarity-sku-580106 This doesn't have the dimensions/ratio you want, but it is a really nice stone.


If this ASETs out all green, it could be a nice stone: https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/radiant-cut/0.96-carat-d-color-vs2-clarity-sku-525366 and it is very close to 5x7.

Same with this one: https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/radiant-cut/0.91-carat-d-color-si1-clarity-sku-525363 See if they can get an ASET of it.

I like this one: https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/radiant-cut/0.91-carat-f-color-si1-clarity-sku-298777

Thanks for your help but I'm working with an insurance claim. James Allen wont work with my insurance company for a replacement Sadly. I think it would have been SO much easier to work with JA and be able too see the stones asap.

Also I'm looking at warmer stones. J and K to get a better size.

 

[Gypsy]

Ahh. Okay.

Got it. Get an ASET on both of those. Let's see what happens.
