Why do I keep doing these things to myself!? Expert help please!

[heb1976]

Okay, I officially admit I have a problem! I have found another diamond that I think may be slightly better than the one I had decided on!

I need some expert help here!{not the mental kind

). The first stone is the one I''ve seen and loved:

Specs:
1.04 G VS2
GIA Ex
polish Ex
Sym Ex
Depth 62.1
Table 55
Crown angle 34.5
Pavilion angle 40.8
crown height 15.5%
pavilion 43%
Star% 55
lgf 75%
Girdle thin to med
cutlet none
6.47-6.50*4.03
Now for the second...
1.04 G VS2
GIA Ex
polish Ex
Sym Ex
Depth 61.8
table 55
crown angle 34.5
pavilion angle 40.6
crown height 15.5%
pavilion 43%
star 50%
lgf 75%
girdle med
cutlet none
5.49-5.51*4.02

Heres a picture of the second... How does this one look? What would be the visual difference between the two with the different depths and pavilion angles and star lengths? Would this have less or more fire than the first? Thanks so much!

Ok, have you typed the dimensions for the second stone wrong - something is off!

If you have, and it should be a 6 instead of a 5, then you are splitting hairs, they could be stone twins!

You have two options!

1. But one - NOW, before you send yourself totally loopy

OR
2. Buy both and have a killer set of earrings! Yum!

5.49-5.51*4.02

agreed - these are wrong. so what Honey said - either will be fine, I would ask vendor opinion

 

[heb1976]

5.49-5.51! Obviously that should be 6.49-6.51.

Thanks for pointing that out. I think I''ve been reading Pricescope too much and have become obsessive, what is wrong with me?!

You have PS-itis - common around these parts. Honestly, once you have made the decision, and pulled the trigger, you will feel lots better. I am certain that you couldn''t tell the difference between these two stones in real life. Enjoy your new diamond!

Those would make a spiffing pair of earrings!!!

* clears throat* anyway, I think seriously those are excellent contenders and you would be happy with either!
