#1 is steep/deep with that 36c and 41p.

#2's numbers are good (can you get images to confirm?), and the fluor discount is better

 

[jet2ks]

#2 has the better numbers

Are these with an online vendor that can supply photos and Idealscope images?

EDT: In other words, ditto yssie

(I'm too slow again)

The second one is cut better and will have better light performance.
It gets a HCA score of 1.5.
The first one gets a score of 5.4.

I'd only consider stones that score under 2.

Can you get Idealscope and ASET pics of the second one?

#2 is better cut, what is the lower half number? Definitely need IS.

Thank you all for your answers!!! Yes, I found those diamonds on BN. When I talked to the sales person on the phone, she told me they couldn''t provide idealscope or ASET, but they can put an order for the "visual" of the diamond. I have BN on top of my list (for now) because the price I got from local and online jewelers is much higher. Has anyone had experience buying diamond on BN? Would love to hear your opinion.

Meanwhile I spotted another rock, I love its price but a bit concerned about the SI1 clarity. from cert it looks there r 2 crystal and a needle in the center of the table. comment says "pinpoints are not shown." Do you think it''s worth buying?

This diamond looks promising by the numbers, as to the clarity the main question is if it is eyeclean to your standards, ask your BN rep to find out whether the diamond is eyeclean, if so SI clarities can be an excellent choice.
