Princess cut Table 75% Depth 84.3% Vs. Table 68% Depth 75.7% - Does it make a difference??

[virgojen]

Hi,

I just registered today. I Love this site! Lots of information!

I orignaly had a princess cut diamond with really high Table & Depth. So, I upgraded it for one with a lower table & depth. Both are Gia VVS2 G color. He paid about $450.00 more for the 2nd stone. This is my first diamond ring and I was wondering if the tables and depth make that much of a difference?? Was it even worth paying more money for it??

First diamond a 1.01ct princess Table 75% Depth 84.3%
New Diamond 1.06 princess Table 68% Depth 75.7%

Since the table is smaller on the new diamond, will it look smaller?? I haven''t received the ring yet. My boyfriend won''t give it to me until our 1 yr. anniversary! Can''t wait!! I will post pics up once I receive it.
