Princess cut shapes look different on GIA reports?

[bizgk]

Hi,

I need some help figuring something out. I have looked at some princess cut diamonds, and their GIA reports, and notice that there are variations in the facets.

Sorry, I am having trouble posting pictures, but if you go here http://www.bluenile.com/diamonds_details.asp?pid=LD00170054 and click on grading report (the GIA cert. pops up), the facets appear different than for this different princess diamond: http://www.bluenile.com/diamonds_details.asp?pid=LD00164575 (again, click on the grading report).

Is one better than the other? These are the only two variations I have seen..

Thanks!

There are many small variations in patterns of faceting on princess cuts - none is going to always be better than another.
