[Cocods]

Hello everyone,

After very intensive research and study, I have narrowed down my choices to the 3 below stones:

https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/cushion-cut/0.90-carat-g-color-vvs1-clarity-sku-3560680

I would really appreciate any further input/feedback from the experts here at this point.

Thank you!

I am no expert but I have to admit I don't love either of those. Looks like there is a lot of "mushy" areas under the table on all of them to me.
I'm sure more knowledgeable people than me will chip in
What is your budget and preferred specs? What setting are you going with?

Thank you for the quick reply. I’m going with a halo setting, and my budget for the lose diamond is 3-3.5k$

Those are more of a crushed ice kind of look...is that what you are looking for? They tend to give smaller pin light flashes. This type of cushion has
better light return. How do you feel about this look? They will provide some bigger flashes (due to bigger facets).

So how do you feel about the above look?

I definitely want the look which has more brilliance. Does that mean I should go with the bigger facets? If so, I have narrowed it down to these four options, any feedback please?

Try watching this video. This may help you gain clarity on performance of cushions. Keeping in mind that the "bright crushed ice" can be very hard to find. Cushions start at 9.38, but listen to the intro before you skip the princess cuts. {these are much bigger than your size, just FYI}

This is all about just cushions. @Rhino videos are really good.

Thank you - very informative. I guess I am set on the second set of options I narrowed down because of the big facets. Any feedback on these 4?

From among the Hs, perhaps H/VVS ? It seems to be the brightest. Would love to see ASETs !
