same carat, different measurement, is it significant?

[nucleon]

Sorry to ask another question. I know that for diamonds of the same carat weight, they can be cut into different dimensions.

As an example:
for a 1.26 cts diamond,

#1 6.91 x 6.89 x 4.30 mm

#2 6.96 x 6.93 x 4.25 mm

Assuming similar cut, color, clarity, good depth, table %, crown and pavilion angles, HCA score < 2 for both of them, would they look visibly different? How different do the length and width have to be able to be discerned by the naked eye?

Thank you again!

you probably can't tell the difference between size in these 2 stones.

Do note that settings itself can affect the way your diamond size will look like. For example, the manner in which a common 4 prong setting is orientated will affect the perceived faced up size.

Thanks! Is there a particular kind of setting that would maximize the perceived faced up size of a diamond?

the halo settings would be my recommendation.
