really want to see how well they are cut and tell you which one looks whiter face up (even though that's not how it's done).
Or, are you just trying to see if we can differentiate between the two "I"s?

Every one has a slight color bias to one side. Normally you see color better towards the same side as the hand you write with but not always. GIA teaches to look at the stone and the master one way, then switch them and do it again. It's amazing how often it makes a difference.

It's the same picture just flipped horizontally as you can see, it's interesting how perception can change with something so slight.tyty333|1435620328|3896548 said:In this last picture the one on the left looks like it has less tint to me.
In the first picture, they both look like they have tint but the 1.35 had a tint that went ever so slightly brown and the other one had
the ever so slightly yellow.
I think your best bet would be to ask Jon or someone at GOG who can look at the stones.
They are both beautiful stones...can you not find anything else to base your decision on? One is bigger, one cost less money, etc.

I did notice that, but I'm hoping that's more of a strong backlighting affect than diamond performance lol.UrsTx|1435631276|3896605 said:With the exception of weight, they both seem to be equal in all aspects but I like the ASET for the 1.26ct better. There's slightly more red in it.
