3 Cushion Cut ASET images... Which one?

[iLoveCushions]

I have three cushion cut ASET images. However, they don't look as I was expecting. Are these ASET images incomplete? Can y'all interpret these for me? Which one would you recommend?

These cushions are all .55 carats.

ASET 1 - Color F - VS2 - 67.6% Depth - 56.2% Table


ASET 2 - Color F - VS1 - 66.6% Depth - 56.7% Table


ASET 3 - Color E - VS1 - 59.1% Depth - 63.4% Table

None of the above.

 

[iLoveCushions]

None of the above.

That bad huh?

I'm slightly color blind. Are all three just way too green or what? I've read too much green is bad.

 

[iLoveCushions]

Bump.

 

[Niel]

What were the price of these?

What were the price of these?

1600, 1710, and 1710.

also, was there a reason you kept them all at .55 cts? was this for a preset setting? ora pendent? Also, was there a reason you stayed so high in color?

It's for a platinum knife edge pave setting. Just a coincidence they are all .55 carats. Also, I read cushions tend to hold color more than other cuts. The article I read said lower than H isn't ideal.

My budget for the diamond is around $2000. I would prefer to purchase the prettiest diamond above half a carat rather than a larger, less beautiful diamond.

I think these two are better options ..

How about this Brian Gavin cushion:http://www.briangavindiamonds.com/diamonds/diamond-details/0.590-g-vs2-cushion-diamond-ags-104065184001

Guaranteed perfect light performance, AGS000. A little over budget.

for crushed ice type cushions, i agree i wouldnt go too low, but for well cut larger faceted ones, I would not be afraid to go lower.

here are a few good old gold ones that would be great performers

http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/10090/

http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/10033/ ( this should look about the same, though they can get you pics, and if you hit reserve, you see its like $2022)

and they sell gabriel and co, which has lots of settings to fit your budget, which is assume is 2750? I do believe GOG will give you a better price than whats on the gabriel and co site

http://www.gabrielny.com/engaged/styles?price=500-1000&metal=W4&style=Straight

or brian gavin has lots of cushions listed as well, though their settings are more expensive

With a cushion at .50ct color won't be as obvious so you actually do have some room to play around. I think "I" would still be safe...and possible even lower if it had blue flur. But stick with what you are comfortable. Have you contacted ERD? I think they have nice cushions at good price points.

Or are these from ERD? I can't remember what their ASETs look like anymore.

Thanks for the links. I really like the first two especially the price. That last one is pretty groovy but she prefers square cut diamonds.

Thanks for the link. I haven't been on Brian Gavin before. Looks like I need to explore that site some more!

You nailed it with my budget. Lol.

I really like Good Old Gold. You really know what you are getting before you get it. I really like Jon's videos he does too. Extremely informant for a novice like me.

I'm leaning heavily towards Good Old Gold. They just seem to have superior diamonds.

These are from JA.com. I looked on ERD for a little bit today. They have a very good selection.

Yea, I think y'all have eased my worries about the color.

I would go with a BGD Signature cushion, Good Old GOld has some Brellias in your price range.

Or a square radiant: http://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/radiant-cut/0.52-carat-e-color-vs2-clarity-sku-256153

If you are willing to venture into eBay ..

I am not usually a fan of Daussi cushions but this might work for you. Find out what the reserve is.

This surprisingly looks eye clean to me. This seller will take offers.

Well, I was about to buy a diamond from Good Old Gold and when I went to check out, it was gone. And now, amazingly, 6 of 7 .5-.59 carat diamonds are gone. The one remaining is the one I eliminated and will not be buying. Hilarious.

Call them. There may be something up with the website. Or someone reserved them but won't be buying them all.

I just noticed all diamonds priced as "Please Call" have been removed. Maybe something to do with being able to see the price if you just added it to your cart.
