Diamond 1

Diamond 2


Both are triple 0 AGS. But which do you think would have better light return? Is an H color gonna be that much different then an I in a white gold setting? And one final question does a 1.04 ratio not look square? Thanks for everyones input before hand.

go with the stone that is actually graded ''0'' for light return on the grading report.

it''s hard to say. there are many factors that come into play when viewing diamond color, including the accuracy of the grading. the ''h'' could be closer to ''g'' or closer to ''i'' and vice versa.

it is still just on the square side of square.

Hmmm . . . well I''m no expert, but I have seen quite a few princess cuts the last few weeks.

I think I like the second one better (the .957 one is number 2, right?). It has a higher crown and the DiamXray is better in my opinion. I also like that it''s more square. That''s just a matter of preference, but I''ve looked at some princess diamonds that were off by about .2mm and they were noticibly rectangular. I couldn''t tell you how much difference the I color will make. I think you have to see them in person to know for sure. At least I do.

I know nothing about princess cuts, but to me they both look lovely. I suppose I would go for the H unless someone gave me a great reason why the I is better. I hear that princess cuts show color more than rounds.

I was going to say that exactly! My pick would be H based on color but I have no idea about the other specs with princess so maybe all the people lurking don''t want to comment because they don''t know much about princess stones either. Good luck!
