My girlfriend has said she really likes cushion cut but specifically the large facets of a vintage/old mine thus I've been spending a lot of time here reading, learning, lurking etc. She does not care for the crushed ice look.
I live in NYC and had a recommendation for a jeweler on 47th street from a good friend. I checked out a few stones with them today but nothing really wowed me and they had a hard time finding anything with the right look. They had a very nice 1.82 F VS1, in my budget but it was for whatever reason it didn't just look quite right for my gf. When I got home I kept looking online and I have these three stones on reserve with JA at the moment awaiting gemologist review and ASETs. I was curious to get opinions on them in the mean time.

I really like #2 because I think it's closest to the look she likes (the other two were described a hybrid cuts) but I appreciate everyone's opinions on these three.

I fixed #2...it's NOT a 1.71 though. It's 1.50 F VVS1
