Looking at those numbers alone, I would choose diamond 1 as the better value. Are they both GIA certified?

Thanks, Yes they are

What shape are these?

 

[diamondhunter10]

I would say number 1 as well.

Any way you can get a picture?

Ditto...

If they are rounds, we need crown/pavillion numbers at the very least to really say anything about the cuts of the stones. Also, a picture would help and an IS image. Try asking the vendor for these. Are these certified by AGS or GIA??

Those profiles are kind of short on information, but from that I would say #1 in a heartbeat. I think the depth% & table% are better and the price is obviously better.

Thanks all. This is round Diamonds

can you post GIA numbers? really too close to tell anything useful...

How can anyone have a clear preference for 1 or 2? It seems to be based on table, but consumer has no way of knowing if table 1 is 57.2 and table 2 is 57.6? Also without girdle information, preference for certain depth is moot.
