Advice on 2 Ct Cushions

fluffycardio_crew · Apr 2, 2019

Hi Everyone!

After spending way too many hours on PC reading threads about cushions, I've tried to narrow down my search. Been looking for a MMD, H-F, VS2-VS1 (eye clean). She would prefer a more modern cut (not AVC sadly), non-crushed ice. I've made a list of the top 3 I have found within budget and was hoping for some opinions on what is the most visually appealing stone. I've requested ASETs but no one appears too eager to provide them so I'm having to make this decision off the provided videos.

Thanks for the help!

Welcome to the forum

It is hard to assess stones on different websites, as the video capture arrangements differ and you can't necessarily compare lighting conditions to each other.

That said, and in my personal opinion, I think you've found some good looking stones there - a range of attractive facet patterns, no obvious issues, all look to be eye-clean to most people.

The stone has to appeal to your eyes / the eyes of your intended recipient, so even if we say which we prefer, ultimately you have to go with the one that calls to you most

You could purchase as ASETscope for use at home, so you can assess anything you order for leakage and facet consistency?

Do all the above vendors have the same Returns policies? (i.e. free/minimal costs to you, and insured during return shipment.) If so, you should be safe to order the one that appeals most, in order to assess it in person.

I would wait for others to comment, though, but this section of the forum is quite quiet at the moment compared to Rockytalky (where we can't discuss MMDs, of course) - perhaps it will pick up as they become more popular!
