Which Configuration Do You Prefer?

[tunis]

Here we go:

Depth: 60.5
Table: 56
Crown: 34.4
Pav: 40.7
Lgl: 77
Star: 50

Or:

Depth: 61.3
Table: 56.2
Crown: 34.7
Pav: 40.6
Lgl: 78
Star: 54

Size and price differences are negligible on these two stones.

Thanks in advance for your helpful comments...

I seriously doubt you''d be able to tell the difference.

Just pick one, they are both fine.

Diameter measurements please Tunis? They both look great as Ellen says!

 

[tunis]

Thanks, Lorelei!

The first stone is 7.60mm. The second stone is 7.43mm.

Looks about the same to me from the numbers. I would choose the slightly larger stone in this case. But really there is not much difference between the two. what clarity grade are these? maybe the inclusion''s locations will be the deciding factor...

 

[neatfreak]

Assuming all else is the same (color, clarity, price) I''d also choose the one that is facing up a bit bigger. But they really both should be gorgeous as others have said.

Looks good again Tunis!

Does anyone think the 57.1% table means less fire than tables in the 55-56% range? I realize there are other factors besides table size that enter the picture when it comes to fire but is 57.1% less than ideal? AGS doesn''t seem to think so (as this is an AGS0 stone).

Not necessarily, it is more complex than that and the angles are really the engines which drive light return/ fire etc - but there can be variables... Also 57.1 table is a great size - no worries. If you get a top cut stone as you are considering, then you should get a nice balanced display of fire and white light. As to the individual performance of a given diamond, this is something that would have to be assessed by an experienced vendor with the diamond in hand. It is also thought that a steeper crown angle and a smaller table can aid fire - there are stones out there called fiery ideal cuts ( FIC's) but there can be trade offs in as much that they can sometimes face up a little smaller for the weight. But I think the calibre of diamonds you are considering should get you a lovely rock - and bear in mind you only see fire in certain lighting.
