What do you guys think of these...

What do you guys think of these. Can you tell me the good and bad about each. My main concern is the girdle of the first one. Is that good or bad that it just says medium? I know ideal is from thin to thick. So wouldn''t medium be good?

Ideal is AGS 0, to keep it simple. Unless I''m dealing with a vendor who''s expert, and has these in their hand (not true it seems with either of these), I''d limit it to that cert.

Not sure where you heard that. Really, medium is pretty near perfect, especially in a princess, where thin can = chipping. The less variation in the girdle, the better. I much prefer to work with WF over Abazias so I personally would rather get a diamond through them. I would consider WF's AGSOs. Try to find one with a picture and/or idealscope. I am assuming that diamond is not in house. Can they get more information on it for you?

I know you''re trying to squeeze a bit more size out of this, but her finger is small and this one is still your best bet I think:

In short, no. The angles are all working together to create the amazing light performance that this diamond has. I also believe that due to the new AGS0 cut parameters there isn''t really any excess weight here that you''re not seeing somehow.

Remember though, if face up size is your goal, a princess is one of the worst choices. A round of the same size would look MUCH MUCH bigger.
