Still in the search.. Advices please. For Cushion

[Buldor]

Hi all, I am still looking for my ideal Cushion and much needed some advice on these two ASETS please.
Both diamonds are about the same spread but their prices are about $3500 difference.

One more face up profile of the 1.65ct.

 

[Buldor]

Here's the 2.11ct, which the spread is about the same as the 1.65ct. Not a huge difference in spread.

More pics on the 2.11ct.


TIA!

Hi all.. Any advice please?

They are both nice.

The first one has less brightness under the table. But I prefer the faceting of it.

The second has as more brightness over all. I would probably go for that one.

Any chance you can get them both and see what your eyes prefer and return the one you don't like as much?

What is your budget? The first one is okay and I do not like the second one. You can do better.

This ASET has a lot more red and the stone is larger for the weight, too:

They have access to many more and may be able to find you a better cut one (most of the ones they have listed are not in house and they'd have to call some in). I'd try that before I'd settle for one of the above, personally.

 

[Buldor]

No, I can't view them in person. I had tried calling diamonds for vendor's review and had caused me few hundreds for thru and fro, I can imagine the cost if its to come all the way to my end.

My budget is about $18,000.

If those are not most ideal, I will continue to look. Thanks all!

Neither will ASET out better than what he already has posted.

I like this one.

 

[Buldor]

Thanks all.. Really appreciated it.

Gypsy.. How do you tell if the ASET will be great just by looking at the diamond? Can you please teach me some pointers?
TIA!

I don't think we know that. The faceting patterns in these stones are much more clearly defined then the
two stones that were previously posted. Are those 2 other stones from JA? Has he already used 2 aset request?

 

[Buldor]

Yes, I had max out with JA so I can't ask for anymore ASET.

Bummer!

 

[chrono]

Difficult choice; ASET says cushion 2 is brighter but I prefer the facet pattern of cushion 1.

"We" may not know that. But I do. I've gotten really good at predicting JA ASETs. And I can tell you, these will not ASET out better than the ones he has.
