Torn between 2 Princess Cuts... which one?

[VonHugenstine]

I have found two Princess cut stones that I am interested in at UnionDiamond.com, and I am having one of them sent to Bill Lieberum "RockDoc" prior to purchasing. The delema is my indecision between the two. Which sound I send? Perhaps some comments or suggestions from the more descerning eye would help.

Gee, hard to choose. I think if it were mine, I'd choose #1 because of the higher color and smaller table. I'm not good with measurements, though, someone else will have to tell you if #1 looks square. The length and width are a lot closer in #2.

Thanks for the reply Hest. I was thinking that the smaller stone would look larger because of the smaller table, and therefor larger crown height %. Is that a correct assumption?

I decided to have diamond #1 sent to "RockDoc", I can't wait to see how it performs.

Oh, sorry for the late reply. Rocdoc should definitely give you a good evaluation, though! Good luck.
