Polish: Ex
Symmetry: Ex
Fluorescence: None
Table 57%
Depth 62.4%
Crown angle: 36
Pavilion: 40.6
Culet: None
Girdle: medium - slightly thick faceted 4%

HCA score:
Light Return: Very Good
Fire: Excellent
Scintillation: Very Good
Spread or diameter for weight Very Good
Total Visual Performance 1.9 - Excellent within FIC range

or diamond 2

Diamond 2 is a .94 C round brilliant GIA Certified
Color: F
Clarity: SI1 (cloud, feather)
Cut: Ex
Polish: Ex
Symmetry: Ex
Fluorescence: None
Table 55%
Depth 61.4%

#1 is the one I'd pick. #2's crown is too shallow for a Tolk. style stone.

Can you get an idealscope image?

 

[lightquik]

Thanks for the feedback. I requested an idealscope from the seller (brilliant earth) and they said they don't provide one

My BGD stone has almost identical specs to stone 2. I am amazed by how much colored light I see from it. I wish I could post a video!

really? the decision has been so tough cause I want to get my girl something that really sparkles and between the two I'm not sure which one would be better

Here is the report if you want to compare numbers, and here are a few pics. It's really hard to capture sparkle in a pic!
