it''s basically impossible to know what a cushion will look like just from the numbers. there are no standards for cushions, and they have many different facet patterns. cushions (like most fanc cuts) really should be seen before you can make a decison on them.. good luck!

I''m not sure to be honest. I am looking at a cushion myself and am wondering the same thing.

With phots and some test of light return at hand there's something to talk about...

those specs from the cert barely give an idea of shape, size for weight and finish (facet pattern, polish, symmetry, girdle and potential crown height.). Those are fine for this stone, but do not say how it looks in person.

The one question mark is the "very thinck" girdle. I would not call that very desirable since it eats up material and makes stones look small - even more so than a couple of extra percentage points of depth would do. Since girdle thickness goes all the way from "thin" to "very thick" it is hard to say how much of a problem that is. Just one thing to look out for.

All in all, I don't thing your question "what is your opinion about the brilliance of this piece" can be answered with what info there is at hand. It's up to the seller to provide the rest
