Princess comparison

[Momaty15]

From the specs on the AGS reports it seems to me (very much a novice when it comes to diamonds) that the 1.2 carot diamond would be the "best" but I have no idea what I'm looking at with the other images. Please help. I'm definitely willing to sacrifice on size to get ideal specs every where else (color, clarity, polish, symmetry, etc...)

Any input is appreciated and if anyone knows of similar diamonds or even a better diamond I'm open to any and all suggestions.
Lastly these are lusted from goodoldgold. Any info in this company is appreciated too. Seems like a very helpful man and diamonds look good but am open to other sites if anyone has another in mind

Last one is the only one with lifetime guarantee, that one is the best of the three.

Corlor and clarity are personal preferences and have nothing to do with the light performance of the stone (99% of the time in ideal cut stones) - cut quality does. Stick with AGS 0 for light performance. And that last option at GOG looks great (and it has a GIA report not an AGS, which is fine - the images look great).

how does that third one from GOG compare to the following ACA from WF? Are ACA diamonds a superior product or just another way of explaining the same cut from GOG?

Most of those ACAs are 2 chevron princeses, ACAs can be 2 or 3, I think. They also have Ideal polish and symmetry.

The GOG one is a 3 chevron, and has VG polish and symmetry.

I love the 1.51 from GOG!!! But, it's up to you.

 

[Momaty15]

can you explain chevron. not really sure what you mean by chevron 2 or 3 and what is a good chevron supposed to be

Just to throw another diamond into the mix, which fits within the specs of the other diamonds you're looking at. Carat weight is a little less, but the spread puts it in the same size range as the others--1.184 ct G VVS1: http://www.highperformancediamonds.com/index.php?page=view-id-diamond-infinity-new&id=112

Apparently, Paul Slegars (who oversees production of every diamond at Crafted by Infinity) was the first to make a super-ideal princess cut diamond. The one I linked diamond is basically as square as can be, and the physical pattern of all their princesses is a wonder. There's a photo of what a Crafted by Infinity princess looks like about halfway down this thread: [URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/request-for-opinions-infinity-princess.127277/']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/request-for-opinions-infinity-princess.127277/[/URL] . Pretty sweet if you ask me.

Number of chevrons has to do withe the faceting pattern on the bottom of the diamond. One type is not
Better than another. Just different looks. You should look closer at the faceting patterns and see
Which you prefer.

Also with princess cuts you usually want to look for smaller tables. I personally like ones that are
Angled and not so square.

Look at the GIA or AGS report, there is a crown and pavilion view where inclusions (if any) are plotted. Chevrons are that V shape, think military chevrons, Chevron logo. Count how many chevrons there are on one side before you get to the X. Generally speaking, two chevrons give you a stronger on and off bang and flash, 3 (or 4) will give you smaller, glittery sparkles.
