[targa]

Hi, I have found 2 stones which look nice to my untrained eye--wondering if anyone would like to suggest based on numbers which may be better (or better value)?? the inclusions on the si1 are peripheral and could be hidden under a prong. the 1.81 looks bigger but both are brilliant. both are egl certs.

You have rounded % data which is not great - but the #''s do look good.

There are appraisers in the listing in the top right corner.
You could also DIY a bit more with an ideal-scope.
