Thanks for the help and comments on my last thread! Decided to go with a local jeweler for the platinum setting with pear shaped blue sapphires on the sides and ordered it yesterday -- jeweler is okay with setting a stone and has the approx dimensions.
Narrowed to 2 diamonds, reserved the BG Black already. Pretty much identical for Ideal-scope, ASET, and hearts imagery. Help me decide!
Crown and Pavilion angle are nearly identical. BG Black has slightly larger table % and less depth %. $954 (4%) difference between the more expensive WF ACA with larger carat size and better clarity but less one color grade than the BG Black series. ALL of the comparable WF ACA 1.7+ F vs2 had visible imperfections on the Ideal-scope, ASET, and hearts so narrowed to this one by dropping a color grade and remaining within $1k range from their collection. BG has much less of a selection, but the BG Black series is a pretty much flawless cut.
BG Black 1.716 F vs2
Measurements 7.68 x 7.70 x 4.73
Table % 56.1
Depth % 61.5
Pav Angle 40.7
Crown Angle 34.5
Wire Price $ 22,960
WF ACA 1.876 G vs1
Measurements 7.89 x 7.91 x 4.88
Table % 55.7
Depth % 61.7
Pav Angle 40.6
Crown Angle 34.5
Wire Price $ 23,914 (+954, +4% diff)

Have been leaning towards the BG Black one for the prestige of the cut as well as the slight bump up in color. Only part that is tempting me for the WF is the slightly larger diamond at nearly the same price.
