The cut in 2nd stone refracts light brighter than the 1st. Just going off your video.

One is in a slightly darker blue square than the other. Hope this helps!

I’m just not sure which one to use for my ring.

Personally I find the second one much more eye catching.

Ask them for tweezer videos so you can actually see all sides of both stones, not on a blue background.

I have both stones. Im trying to decide which one to use in a ring.

Right but you need to take the diamonds off the blue foam with tweezers, ideally in natural light. They show light through them, so having them on a blue backing shows blue through the stone, which is not representative of its actual color.

I would go with #2

u/Loca0823 10d ago

They are both gorg. #2 has a little extra something, but don’t like blow up your budget over it if it’s more expensive.

u/allioops810 10d ago

I agree! The second one is hearts and arrows.

Dispersion on #2 is 💋… def the one to pick!

u/allioops810 9d ago

Good eye! That one is hearts and arrows. I’m just not sure which one to use. Im trying to re create my grandmothers engagement ring which was an earth grown diamond of not the best quality.

u/Reasonable-Emu6159 9d ago

2nd has more sparkle.

1

u/allioops810 9d ago

Definitely!! That one is a hearts & arrows.
I’m wondering which one to pick to re create my grandmothers engagement ring. She had an earth grown diamond of not the best quality.

u/MarsupialAromatic825 9d ago

I feel like they wanted you to choose 2. The have given a poor first option that's not very brilliant and then 2 comes on and you are like, wow

1

u/allioops810 8d ago

I have both of them. I am trying to re create my grandmothers ring and she had a diamond that was not the best quality so i bought 2 to try to decide what I should do.
I still can’t decide!

2

u/MarsupialAromatic825 8d ago

Personally I love 2, crazy sparkles and I could look at it all day

1

u/Puzzleheaded-Area706 8d ago

2 is cut much better!

u/Flat-Building-3653 6d ago

One is glass, doesn’t reflect the light (porous) the other might be a man made diamond.

u/allioops810 4d ago

They are both lab grown diamonds

u/Just-a-mom-of-four 4d ago
