The search above shows 20,000. range...but do you have more cut info?

You need to post the crown and pavilion angles. Also, is the second stone an SI stone as well?

You think $20k range for 2 carat, SI stone? These are not ideal proportions, so they should be priced as "premium" and not ideal.

Looking at WF, they range from 16,000 and up - even with a "good" cut.....most are 17-20...must be the F color.........

 

[lilyeternity]

Both Si1 stones

Do you know the specs for the girdle on stone #1? From the info you have given thus far, I would go with the first stone.

These stones are not within the ideal cut proprtions, therefore they are selling for a little bit less than ones that are.

Stones that have the ideal cut measurements are usually the ones that fall within these criterias:
depth=59%-62.5%, table=53%-57%, girdle=thin-med-sltk,polish=vg-ex,symm=vg-ex,flour=none-faint.
If you go with these proprtions you will most likely get an ideal cut stone!Ofcourse these stones are selling for more money.
the ones you have picked should range approx. 17,000-18,500, whereas ideal cuts are running approx. 18,500-21,500 depending on the size.

search the web, go on different sites and compare cuts,meaurements, and price

good luck
