Depth 60.4
Table 57
Crown Angle 34.5
Pavillon Angle 40.8
Inclusion Feather
HCA 1.2

Thank you very much for your help !!!!
 
More "desirable inclusions" on the first one.

Can you get idealscope images? The HCA is a weedout tool; the next step is to get an idealscope image.
 
No.. I can't get an Idealoscope picture. I just have the numbers.
Do you think the feather is a problem i a VVS2 stone?
Thank you for your answer!
 
I would drop the VVS and see if you can eek out a little size. Vs2 is fine.
I wouldn't pay for VVS in a round.
 
If you had to choose one of this two - which one would you choose and why? Can I see any difference between a diamond with a 57% Table and one with a 58% Table? Is a Feather something to worry about in a VVS2 Diamond?

Thank you really much for helping me !!!
 
I actually quite like a large-ish table, but tbh I don't have a strong opinion between the two table wise.
If you have an opportunity to avoid a feather, and all other aspects of the stones are equal (have you seen them both in person?) I probably would avoid a feather. Although at the clarity you're looking at, it's not a big feather. :) we're getting nit picky here.

If I had the opportunity, I would examine both of them in person and make the choice from there.
Is there a difference in the lower pavilion facet percentages?
Does either of them have fluoro?
 
No there is no need to avoid a VVS feather. No need to avoid anything in VVS, or even VS1.

It's not nitpicking, it's just sense.

If it were my ring I'd drop to H-I eyeclean SI1 and get a full carat.
 
Okay, thank you..
When I don't have to worry about the feather, maybe the smaller table would be better?
I have a 3.75 finger- so I think, 0.8 carat will be a nice size for me.. ?
