Which stone?

[sabre2512]

Hello Everyone,
I have been browsing the forums for a few months now and have finally decided to post. I have a few diamonds that I have narrowed down my search to and was looking on opinions as to which one you feel may be better diamond/purchase. Any advice is very much appreciated.

Thank you!!

Welcome, sabre! I don't know much about princess cuts, but I'm posting so that your thread gets bumped so the posters who do know how to buy a good princess see it.

The one from Union Diamond is an AGS Ideal cut stone. That is what I'd always choose for a princess cut. But I'd prefer seeing a picture of it before ordering it. The one from JA looks nice but you'd need an ASET or something to see if it has good light return.

I agree with DS, can Union supply you with a photo of the diamond? I also think the JA stone is worth getting an ASET image. JA will provide images for three stones, so I would choose two additional stones you are interested in for comparison.

Thank you all for the advice. I have asked JA for the ASET images and Union for a photo of the diamond. I will post once I get a response.
Thanks again!

So here is the image of the AGS stone. I am still working on getting the ASET from JA. Any thoughts?
