Advice on cushion - ASET

[Vorda]

Hey,

I could use some advice on a cushion diamond for a platinum engagement ring (no halo).
Here is an album with the ASET images and some details. Price and size is about the same. Could anyone help me choose, and maybe explain why? Looking to learn how to read these ASET.

In pure specs, the second one seems the best deal, but I'm unsure about the ASET comparison.

Thanks!

Thanks for informing me, added the images.

I prefer the look of #1, and so long as its eyeclean, I think H is going to be 'safer' for an engagement ring. I actually love i coloured, but you/partner may be able to see some colour. Many people will also say that paying for vvs is overkill, but will be mind clean for you.

Actually, here are the full details of the stones:

#1

I prefer the arrow patterning on #1 but both are great diamonds.

Thanks guys, seems consensus is on the H SI1 over the I VVS2.

Prefer #1. BGD cushions perform very nicely but are also very square. Hope you don't mind if people mistake it as a princess cut from time to time (especially if prongs are covering the corners).
