To be honest, I don't think any of them look great in terms of the ASET, but if I had to choose, I'd probably choose the first one because it is going to be visibly larger than the other two. The second one faces up very small and I wouldn't consider it.

Just FYI, here is what a beautifully cut cushion and its ASET looks like:

You really needed to ask us for help in selecting the diamonds. Those are all duds.


Why do you need such high color and clarity? Color and clarity are not what make a diamond beautiful. Faceting and light performance are. So that's what you need to shop for.

Do you have cultural reasons for wanting such high color and clarity? Or are you just afraid of having a yellow stone with black pepper in it?
