I've done some reading on this forum on cushion cuts, enough to know that I don't know enough. I am looking for a 1.2-1.3 carat cushion cut. I've been looking at H-G color, SI1-VS1 clarity, with excellent polish and symmetry. I know it's all about the sparkle, but it seems really hard to tell which rock has it. I was hoping to keep my budget right around 7k for the diamond.
Here are some of the ones I am looking at.

4. http://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/cushion-cut/1.30-carat-g-color-si1-clarity-sku-513989
5. http://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/cushion-cut/1.32-carat-g-color-vs1-clarity-sku-370101 (this one is slightly out of my budget, but I will include it anyway)
Are any of those worth putting on hold or checking out further?
This is the ring I am considering getting to go with it, in white gold.
