Hi all --
I had a previous thread about these two diamonds, but it had to be deleted because it had a little too much info that my GF might stumble across (damn you, Google!). The second diamond finally came in and I'd love the PS community's opinion on which they like better. To make this interesting, what about a taste test?
For background, I'm evaluating two diamonds that are almost exactly the same in carat weight, color, clarity. The only difference is how they are cut. Both are GIA EX, deemed 1A under the AGA guidelines and have an HCA of 1.5. However, one is HCA ex-ex-vg-vg and one is ex-ex-ex-vg. (Very good on spread for both, one is ex in scintillation, one is vg for scintillation). But, they are very different in all the key %'s.
I've created a video of the two side by side. Which do your eyes prefer? Poll is up top, but feel free to also reply with your thoughts.
After everyone has chimed in, I'll share what the differences are between the two. Have fun and thanks for your input!
