Cushion cut comparison

[LF]

HI, I'm new to the site but have looked at a couple of other sites while ring/stone shopping. I'd really appreciate any input about these cushion cuts:

I've found different recommendations about depth, and this one is a little high at 70.1%

The second stone looks like it has a small black inclusion just lateral to the table but wonder if it will have more brilliance and fire than the stone above.

Thanks for any advice/recs

If you want a top-notch stone, I would look at Good Old Gold for cushions.

Here are two options, both less expensive than the JA stone linked. They will have access to others, as well, so just give them a call and ask them to make a video comparing the stones that meet you needs.

1.3ct, I, VS2

1.5ct, I, SI2

Best of luck!

They're both decent picks, depends on if you want a square or rectangular cushion. The rectangular one has much more spread.

I like the second one. Not the first. I can look for options for you later.

Thanks for all the replies and recs. I'll take a look at Good Old Gold as well.
Gypsy - sure, I'd appreciate that.
