it's finally my turn folks! i've sorta been doing research for the last couple of months. now i just need some help looking for a cushion cut diamond. i've been looking at loose diamonds, but i'm still not great at looking at the numbers to find a diamond that will truly sparkle (something like the HCA tool would be great for a cushion cut diamond).
i first saw this diamond a couple of months ago, but wondering why it still hasn't sold? and if i recall correctly, gypsy, you said you'd only consider buying from blue nile if it was one of their signature cut hearts/arrows diamond, correct? why hasn't this particular diamond sold? can someone (gypsy?) compare the stats of this diamond with another one and explain why one is "better" than the other?

my loose diamond budget is right around $5000, give or take a couple hundred. i'm thinking a halo setting, so i'll somehow have to account for the price of the band too.
here are some examples of what i would like her ring to look like:

obviously my budget will prevent me from purchasing a diamond as big as the ones above, but would that look still be achievable with a diamond half the size (1ct)?
thanks all for your help.
