3 cushion possibilities

[toehead93]

What are your thoughts on these three diamonds and what are the pros/cons of each?
Each is a 2-carat, G-color, SI1-clarity, ideal cut, with exellent polish and symetry.

ok, I can't load even a link or attach anything.

No thoughts - not enough information.

Copy and paste the link directly.

Images must be uploaded through the "Attach File" button.

Hi toehead

Yes images are needed and preferably the following;

ASET image
clear close up photo
Sarin report to get the crown height.

Suggest you look at the forum directions for how to post photos and/or links - its a little bit tricky the first time, but once you''ve got it its really straightforward. And if you can post more complete info, there are many knowledgeable experts here who would be happy to help you out.

If you are really having technical difficulties - try e-mailing the admins for the site, I''m sure they''d be happy to help out as well.

Amber is right, also you can try this, rename the files to something unique and don't use any unusual characters in that name, also check the size is right for posting, this thread could help you.

Did you attach the wrong images or was orginal post stating the 2ct size incorrect? Image #1 shows a 1.01ct and image #2 shows a 1.2ct.

 

[toehead93]

Oops, that was a typo. It should read 1-carat!

Tough choices. 1 and 2 will perform well in Office and Spot Lighting where light can enter from the side but will not perform well in all lighting conditions.
This is evidenced by the the all green outside of the stone in the ASET. This means that if the stone doesn't receive side angle light than the edges will not light up and it will look smaller than its actual size.
Picking one over the other is a personal choice, both have nice optical symmetry. I would ask the vendor if the outside edges of either return a lot of light in direct daylight or under a table and see what they tell you my guess is no.

Stone #3 you should get an ASET for it as we can't tell much from the Idealscope other than it shows only a little leakage and obstuction and could be a stone worth considering with more information.

 

[Lorelei]

Can you post the actual images/ photos of #3 please, also an ASET image would be better than Idealscope if you could get one, and the grading report for #1? The second diamond has a grade making cloud mentioned, you would need to check this isn't impacting performance if you decide to buy this one.

 

[toehead93]

I have images of #3, not sure how the quality is. I could not get ASET for #3.
I am waiting for the report for #1 and I may have one more option to add.

 

[CharmyPoo]

Not liking #3 - there is a bit of a crushed ice look to it.

Have you tried contact GOG or ERD?

 

[toehead93]

Thanks for the advice. I think I''ve narrowed down to #2 and this one on GOG:

This new one (#4) on the GOG site has less green on the edges but blue in the center. What are your thoughts on this while I research the blue aspect of the ASET. Thanks again.
