Hi... I am re-posting a question, my first post was confusing

My question is which stone is better.
First stone:
GIA Cert. 1.65 carat
Round Brilliant
Meas: 7.58 - 7.65 - 4.71
Depth: 61.9 %
Table: 55 %
Girdle: thin to slightly thick faceted
Culet: None
Polish: Good
Symmetry: Good
Clarity/color: E SI2
no flour
Second stone:

EGL US 32122415D
Round Brilliant 1.74 carat
Meas: 7.74 - 7.67 x 4.78
Depth: 62.1 %
Table: 56 %
Crown: 15.5
Pavilion: 43.0
Girdle: Thin to medium faceted
Polish: Good
Symmetry: Good
no flour

Any comments are greatly appreciated...

Symmetry is a question here.

It would be easiest all round if you can get ideal-scope images for both.
EGL good may not be as good as GIA good

Also is it EGL USA (better)
 
What is the color and clarity of the EGL graded diamond ?

If it matches GIA word for word, the meaning of the grades might not be the same. Also, if both are SI clarity, the looks of the inclusions would affect value quite a bit - it does matter how clean they look and that''s not possible to tell without the diamonds infront of you (or some darn good pictures).

Just my 0.2

thanks for responding, the EGL is US, and the color and clarity is F SI2. I also paid $11,300 for the GIA stone

and the EGL stone is $10,877. I bought my stone at a store called the "Jewelry Exchange" in Tustin, CA

they have several stores nationwide, I wish I had purchased my stone with Whiteflash or dirt cheap diamonds

I could have saved myself some money, the Jewelry Exchange gives a 90 day full value trade up and after that

you get 80 % of what you paid towards upgrading, which isn''t too bad. Thanks again for answering my

question
