Can't decide between these two, any help is appreciated.

1.01 Si1 G no fluorescents,

both same cut, GIA cert and $100 difference
thanks

Need a lot more info than that. What shape is it? Can you post the table % / depth % / crown angle / pavillion angle? Can you get an idealscope image?

Here is one report but the other has been taken offline and I do not have the info. Will update when I do

After searching I came across this and was curious if it was worth 800 more than the previous post?

Very poorly cut. I would not purchase this one.

Also very poorly cut; I would pass on this one too. The crown and pavilion angles are not complementary, which leads to them not reflecting light back to the eye well.

Hi Shaneku5,

Try to aim for Pavilion angles of between 40.6 - 41 and crown angles generally between 34-35 for a safe bet.
Also be sure to use the HCA grading tool available to determine whether it is worth consideration. These stones scored a 6 indicating poor light performance.

There are lots of resources under the resource section here that explain diamond anatomy and help with understanding of why these proportions are important. Which vender were you looking to purchase from?
