Thank you very much. Yes you are all absolutely right, i did not think so muchabout cut before, but really, when its excellent, its more play and shine.Agreed, pick whichever has the best cut. It will face up the brightest and show the most sparkle regardless of color. Both of your stones should be eye clean at VVS2. The difference between 1.04/1.22 is not significant, the best cut stone will look biggest because of how much light it reflects back from within. Good luck!
