Bellow I''ll try to attach the ASET images of each stone. I know they look a little blurry but these are the ones I''ve got.
Which one does look more appealing to you guys?

This is the ASET of Round 2

i''m a total newb who has been on these boards for pretty much a month now, but #2 clearly looks better, based on the aset image (obvious) and the table/depth #s are within a generally more favorable range. just my .02 cents (yes, "point O two cents").

Can you post the IS image?

Hi Lokoto

The second looks to be the best choice, the first is too deep for me physically and it doesn''t have the best crown and pavilion angle combination. Also with the second it says the diamond is hearts and arrows, we would need images of both hearts and arrows in order to prove this, my guess is it might show some sort of a h&a pattern but not actually be a '' true'' h&a.

Thanks a lot for the replies to all of you. I will try to get the Idealscope images and post them here.
