Which is better stone?

Hi,
after all the tutorials i have started understanding a little about diamonds....still a little confused when it comes to table% & depth% relationship...in both round and princess cut.

Crown and pavilion angles?

Diameter is slightly bigger.

Facet girdle means it is polished, some diamonds are not faceted at the girdle, those are call bruted girdle, the girdle will look like a line of frost. Personal preference.

PLEASE help me understand how you use these Depth, Table, Crown angle & Pavilion angle ... i have read tutorials but i think i am bad at understanding all this connection they have with each other? How did u come to know the diameter is large?

Diameter is the measurement. 6.09mm for the H and 5.96mm for the G.

Use the cut adviser, try and get the stone to score below 2. These 2 are promising, Idealscope image will be needed to confirm.

Thanks, i have been using HCA... i was thinking there is some other calculation as well.
Regarding diameter....is there any limit or numbers i should look for/know ... something which tells me that diameter is big?

Diameter is the least of my concerns, as long as the angles and tables work well together, the girdle is within V-thin to sl-thick range, it should be good.

If you really want to check the diameter, use the in-house search for the diamond prices, a spread of 0% will be the ideal spread of the carat weight.
