Are you set on purchasing either of these diamonds? There are cut issues with both. The first is not a square, it''s a rectangle. Also, IGI is not a reputable place to have a certificate come from. Stick with AGS and GIA, they are more strict in their grading. The second stone has a very thin girdle. This is not recommended in princesses because these stones have sharp corners and a very thin girdle increases the liklihood that the stone might get chipped someday.
