Which iamond

[rmoore116]

I have a dilemma I could use some help with. There are two princess cut diamonds I am considering, that are very similar but have vastly different prices, any opinions on what is the best buy?

GIA, 2.01, E, VS 2, 6.81x6.81x4.92, 72.2 depth, 70 table, no cutlet, excelent polish, very good symmetry, no fluroescence, Premium cut - Price $17,413

EGL, 2.01, F, VS 2, 6.92x6.90x4.87, 70 depth, 71 table, no cutlet, very good polish, very good symmetry, no fluroescence - Price $14,468

Honestly, there is no way to tell. You need to have a sarin and lightscope (or is it idealscope) analysis to know for sure. Regarding the polish, you won't tell the diff b/w the two....Is it EGL USA? EGL has a rep of being off sometimes...not ALL the time...but I would make sure yu can get a REFUND if you buy the EGL and it comes back a G....The GIA is more $ b/c #1, it's an E, and #2, it's a GIA....they both look like they could be really nice...Oh wait!!!!! It's EGL...what is the crown % listed on the cert!!!!!! That will really help with answering...!!!

Oh wait!!!! I had the table and the depth mixed up on the EGL!!!! Oops...well, not for sure, but ten bucks the crown isn't over 9..... In that case, #1 for sure....I'm sure NOT what you wanted to hear....sorry!

#1 looks much better to me!
