Hi all,

I've been looking at Princess cuts, and think I have it narrowed down to 4...hoping to buy shortly :) Could a wiser pair of eyes take a look and see if any of these stand out (in a good or bad way)? The 1.2 ct is in the ballpark pricewise of the others, and was wondering why that might be. Not worried about size between these, just looking for which one might look the best.

Thanks! :)

Princess cuts show more color. Consider how color sensitive you are before buying a J. Ask for the vendor's opinion too. Here is a video on color.

Interesting...thanks. Can't watch the video at the moment but will check it out this evening. What made 1 and 3 stand out? (Picked these 4 because they looked good, but wasn't able to discern which were "preferable")

I think all 4 are good. It comes down to preference. GOG has videos of differently cut princesses, all with AGS Ideal light performance, and each have unique personalities.

I prefer smaller tables, higher crowns, red borders (brightness) on ASET images, and where the blue (contrast) is on the ASET. I think contrast makes diamonds more interesting to look at.
