Do you have links, pictures, or idealscope/ASET images? It''s hard to tell with princess stones without these...

 

[dave0311]

Nearly identical stats...

If you have access to a picture, just go with whatever one pops more...

 

[bbg]

Don''t have pictures for either one. I know Princess Cuts are difficult to judge without seeing , but was hoping someone could give me some insight based on the information available. I''m a newbie at best, and can''t tell the difference between the two.

Have you seen these stones in person? If so, you are in a better position to judge them than us. We can''t make a decision based on those numbers. If you can''t see the stones, or IS/ASET images, I suggest you narrow your search to AGS000 princess stones, these are really well cut princess stones and will be winners.

I have not seen the stones in person. I had heard that in addition to symmetry and polish that table to depth percentage was a decent indicator of stone brilliance. Without being able to see these stones, based on the table and depth percentages, is there any way to tell? Maybe this is not correct, but I had read it on other PS forums. Any help would be appreciated....

I really am not comfortable evaluating fancy cuts on the numbers...there are just SO many variables, that you really need to see them in person or see pictures before deciding. Are there other vendors you could work with that could provide you pictures? It would help a lot.

 

[jstarfireb]

Agreed; they look nearly identical by numbers, but fancy cuts that look like this have the potential to be wildly different based on cut. One could be fantastic and the other a dog. Or both could be duds...who knows?

The lab that graded the first one is missing; is it also GIA?

Ditto the ladies, we really need images in order to be able to help further.

Why don''t you check out GOG or Whiteflash for AGS000 princess stones? What''s the rush on these two. Take the time to make an informed decision, it''s a big purchase and not something you want to get wrong.
