Need Feedback ASAP on K BG Blues

[PintoBean]

Hi guys!

I'm looking to upgrade my current quadex to a BG Blue. i have these two on reserve, and have to pick one in a matter of hours.

Which would you go for and why?

Thank you DS - I linked the wrong 1.266 K!!!!

One of those is a blue and one is signature (no fluorescence). Certainly I would prefer fluorescence in a K color.

Oy - DS - I linked the wrong 1.266 K!!!
Both have fluourescence!

I'd choose the 1.28. I prefer the twining wisp inclusion over the crystal because I can see the crystal in the pictures (although I am sure it is probably too small to see in real life). I also mentally like that it hits the 7mm mark.

Thanks for the feedback DS!!

I ended up going for the 1.266, even though I saw that crystal in the pic, too, b/c the feedback I got was that both were eye clean, and the 1.266 was whiter to Brian than the 1.288, and Jamie thought the 1.266 looked like a H/I to her eyes. I figured the $90+ I save gets to go to either the new setting or a new head for my current setting. So excited!!!

Oh, well if one was whiter than the other, I would have chosen it, too! Can't wait to see it finished!

I would choose the 1.288 because it has a slightly higher crown, and is VERY strong blue, and slightly larger in diameter. Haven't seen a "very" strong blue before. Which one does the gemologist say he prefers when comparing the two?

Ooops, sorry i never read to the end before I post. I'm excited for you too...nice choice!
