Where to give, girdle or color?

[ncanvasser]

Given that two stones are both ACA and very similar size and clarity, would you rather have:

1) an H with a Bruted Girdle (thin, and very minimal bearding)

or

2) an I with a Faceted Girdle

I like the H a lot, but I need to take this weekend to think about the Bruted-ness. I don''t think I will be able to tell a difference between the H and the I, but again...mind clean.

what is the thickness of the bruted girdle?

Thin, .7-1.0

Seems ok, since the girdle is thin. And I expect it to be finished to some degree, not completely rough.

Thanks Julie for the link...I guess I am just looking for a little reassurance!
