Please help me choose a stone

[TwistedWrister]

I''ve narrowed it down to these two stones. They''re near the same price so that''s not really an issue. I was just wondering if anyone had some advice. Thanks a bunch. Oh btw, the 2nd stone scored 3 VHs in the Brilliant Scope.

They both look like winners. I would go with the F personally, but both will be amazing.

Both are great! I guess if they are close in price I''d take the F, but the G is fine, too.

With the higher color and presumably better score on the brilliancescope...what''s the question...seems like #2 is favorable.

 

[TwistedWrister]

Thanks for the replies. The only concern I had was the needle being so close to the girdle in the second stone. I know it's not visible from above, but I wasn't sure if it would affect antyhing else.

I''m not a fan of depth over 62%, so I prefer the second stone.

If you''re worried about the needle, perhaps you could have an appraiser look at it prior to purchase? I''m sure a decent appraiser could let you know if that reasonably could pose a problem.
