Help with 2ct 34/41 57%

[FinanceMan1212]

I prefer an LGF between 75-76% for the bigger/chunkier arrows that result.

Good to know. I've read that 77%> gives you the best "fire" although I think the 2ct has better fire.

The only thing I found wrong with the 2ct was this. Not sure what it means. Hopefully just the angle.

Yep, you got it: just the angle and reflection within the diamond.

Flying in to Athens and then heading to Crete for 4 nights. Ferry to Santorini for 3 nights. Ferry to Paros for 2 nights. Fly to Athens where we will drive to Nafplion for one night and stay in Athens the last two nights. Will have to look into parakalo.

Both are fine cut wise.
Your running into bs internet whacked out info syndrome.
There are a lot of people out there that think they know everything and post bogus webpages to convince others they are experts.

So you think both diamonds are exactly the same? No preference?

the are both well cut with known good angle combinations backed by images.
In an ideal world aset or IS images would be available but there is enough info.
Ask about transparency for any lab stone.

Is there a certain measurement they do for transparency or is it as simple as them just telling me it's ideal transparent?

looking at it is the only test for it.
So they need to check and tell you.

And there is nothing to be worried about with the 60.5 depth?

nopers
its fine.

Although I like the bigger spread of the 2.14ct better, I do like that the 2.0ct appears to have slightly better symmetry precision and less pronounced CVD striations (especially in the Fire videos). I would choose the 2.0ct between these two.

But, it's a tough call.

Is this what you mean by striation? The grainy white lines?

Yes indeed. It is a characteristic of the CVD growth process.

I decided on the 2ct. It's 1k cheaper as well.

I think that you made a great choice - congrats!
