Need help with these princesses??

[Klamorris]

We are in the market for a ring but arent trying to spend a ton of money on it. Could you experts please tell me what you think of these two rings?

Princess GIA cert
.81 carat
VS2, H
5.09x4.85x3.80
depth-78.4
table-68
girdle- thick
cutlet - none
polish - very good
symmetry- very good
no flourescence
$2406.00

or

Princess .90 carat GIA cert
VS2, H
5.22x5.02x3.95
depth-78.7
table-74
girdle thin to very thick
cutlet- none
polish- excellent
symmetry- good
no flourescence
$2404.00

With the depths being what they are, wil these two diamonds shine and sparkle? Also I am unsure as to what the crown height is...how important is that really?



Thanks in advance!!!!

Both of those princesses are too deep - you want to keep the depth between 64-75% if you can. Those deeper stones are going to make the stone look smaller, in additon to compromising light return.


Also, the table on the second stone is huge -- try to stay between 62-68%. Also need crown height %.


Apparently picking out a princess stone is tough without seeing it. Good luck! I'd keep searching.




As per color and clarity, you're in the right ballpark for maximizing value -- H color and VS2 are as low as most usu. want to go with fancies, although some SI1s will be eyeclean.
