do you have pictures, ideal scope images or a link to the stones? We also need more information off the GIA reports so we know what the cut is really like.

I don't have any pictures. I'm buying it from Bluenile. Here are the GIA reports.

the 1.50 table is too big. the second one may have potential. I usually don't like BN because they don't give you any pictures or idealscopes which IMO are absolutely necessary if you're buying a round diamond online.

Just ran the numbers and the second one only scored a 3.3 on the HCA so I'd pass on both of these!!

I agree! There are other vendors that supply pictures and idealscope images unless you have to buy from BN for some reason.

Try to stick with this and you'll end up with a stone closer to ideal cut specs:

table: 54-58

depth: 60-62 (up to 62.3 is ok)

crown angle: 34-35.0

pavilion angle: 40.6-41.0

When you come back, post the above info as well as the diameter measurements.

Yeah, the 1.50 scored a 3.3 on the HCA and the 1.51 scored a 2.8.. you want the score to stay under 2.0...again, pass. can you go with another vendor??
