Thoughts on this cushion?

We're leaning towards this stone because it fits our criteria and budget, plus Mark says it is cut well and has good brilliance. Just wanted to hear your thoughts on it... Cushion Brilliant 7.09 x 5.65 x 3.85mm 1.12 carat Color: G Clarity: SI1 Polish: Excellent Symmetry: Good Fluorescence: None Table: 62% Depth: 68.1% Faceted: Thin to Thick I'm a little worried that the symmetry is only good and that it's an SI1, but we did specify we wanted it to be eye clean. What do ya think ladies? (We should be getting pictures from him tomorrow.)

mel047 Cut Rock Total Posts: 137 Last Post: 8/4/2009 Member Since: 10/17/2007	Well, finally got a picture from Mark of the diamond. I'm kinda frustrated with it because I think the picture is such poor quality that I can't decide if it's a good diamond or not. Of course, I'm not expert though. I figured we'd try and ask him for more pictures, but wanted to see what you lovely ladies think... Any thoughts?

However, I really don't know much about cushions. It would be nice if Mark got some fancier equipment for photographing stones . ETA: don't worry about the good symmetry, this is a minor issue compared to other aspects of cut. As long as it is eye clean, the SI clarity should be fine as well and you should have a hard time seeing anything.

mel047 Cut Rock Total Posts: 137 Last Post: 8/4/2009 Member Since: 10/17/2007	Well, got a new picture from Mark, and another prospect. The one on the left is the 1.12 and the one on the right is the new 1.22. Really like the new one and hopefully it's available and in our price range. Don't have much specs on it yet... It's an H-VS1. What do ya think? I appreciate the comments. :)
