Do you guys remember these?



After a month of going back and forth in my mind, I took the bull by the horns and made the cutter see reality.
He had no idea what these were worth, so he was asking a price that would have them sell for about $8300 each. The possibility of buying aone or the other was not offered- they were only available as a pair. More accurately- if I wanted only one, it would have had a DbL sell price over $9k

We will offer them for an average of $5250 each.
The question I'm posing:
Are they worth the same amount to each other?
Maybe one should be $5500, and the other $5000.
Here's a closer look:

Hard to say.  Without knowing the value of different colours, I would say the one with VG cut would have an edge to G cut.  For me, it would be personal preference.  I think the one I like should cost less.   

 

D, IRL, how does the color of the lighter FBY cushion compare FBY Asscher beauty R2980 (taking into account they are completely different cuts)?

That's a great question t!

I thikmn it's a case of the cut making a HUGE difference in some ways.

They are approximately the same color.
The ability of the Asscher to pull his off with so many less facets easily doubles the value per carat.
