Hi everyone,

Star 51.0
Pavilion Angle 40.7
Crown % 14.8
Lower Girdle % 76.0
Measurements 7.42x7.46x4.53
Culet Pointed
Fluorescence Negligible
Girdle Thin to Slightly Thick Faceted
HCA 0.8

(Second stone in following post)

I had so much trouble uploading images after the first post. Anyway, here's tone number 2: 1.7 G VS2

Depth % 62.2
Table % 55.2
Crown Angle 34.8
Star 51.0
Pavilion Angle 40.9
Crown % 15.5
Lower Girdle % 77.0
Measurements 7.65x7.66x4.77
Culet Pointed
Fluorescence Negligible
Girdle Thin to Medium Faceted
HCA : 1.8

Is this stone likely to be as sparkly as the first one? If size is not a matter (though it almost always is) any other reason to choose this stone? My gf ring size is 4.25 so 1.5 probably quite big already. However like someone very wise mentioned somewhere in this forum, when it comes to size, very few girls find a big stone a problem. The question is whether Is the 3.5k difference in price justifies the 0.2 carat difference?

Thanks so much for your valuable help!

Both stones are obviously outstanding. The second one is larger than the first. So assuming both stones are eyeclean (ask if they are eyeclean from the top and sides), then I'd definitely choose the second one. There is definitely a visual difference in the two sizes.

Thanks DS06. They are both supposedly eye clean. Did you see the four black dots on the idealscope image on the second stone and the three dots on the ASET image? I suppose they are inclusions. Is this normal for VS2? Thanks heaps!
