How these 2 sapphires look to you?

Please help me to choose a sapphire

http://www.forevergemstones.com/proddetail.php?ProdID=1074 I like the color in this one but there is no sparkle (life)


http://www.forevergemstones.com/proddetail.php?ProdID=1716 I like the sparkle in this one but the carat size is now what I am looking for.. I am looking for 4-5 carat range..

What do you guys think??

I agree with your assessment of the first sapphire; nice colour, no sparkle.
Sapphire 2 is lively, but the saturation is light and cutting is suspect.

I don''t know what shapes you like but AJS has a few choices:

While I agree with Chronos assessment, I have to add one thing:

The color on the first stone is outstanding. It has that really nice, silky Kashmir look about it. It appears to be a decent cut. I think the lack of sparkle is due to the silk. I really like this stone. A tasty little morsel.

Thank you very much for your responses.
Yes, I really like the color of the first one. I really woul like to see it in person. I am working with couple of vendors and hopefully they will be able to find me a nice stone! Thanks again!
