I also would avoid extremely thin girdle in a princess.

Any thoughts on whether the stones are worth that much? Also seems that the thin gridle on the one makes the other stone seem like a better decision.

Gosh, I gotta read more carefully

The cert #s should be above. Let me know if that helps? Do the descriptions above at face value seem to make both stones worth 30k each?

I asked for the cert #s because I didn''t immediately pick up on the fact that they are princess cuts . . . which should have been glaringly obvious to me, duh !!!
I know little about princesses but here is one from WF, that is near 30K and has what looks to my eye as a great IS, just to give you a frame of reference what 30K will buy.
