Hello, looking for advice and thoughts on this 1.11 ct cushion cut diamond. I am looking for a cushion cut that is more rectangular or elongated that will show longer than its carat weight with a H color or higher and is eye clean with nice fire or sparkle. I don't have any pics of the diamond as there are none from the links that I found from Pricescope's diamond search. Therefore base on the GIA cert and diagram, would there be any red flags or concerns that this diamond may not be eye clean? It looks like the main inclusions are some clouds, how much will that effect the diamond and fire of the sparkle? Do you think this would be a good choice for what I am looking for? Also should have any worries from either or any of the vendors from PriceScope's diamond search such as B2C or Solomon Brother's? Any thoughts and advice would be appreciated. Thanks you

There is no way of telling whether an SI1 is clean or not by looking at the grading report.

No, I do not think a cushion that you havent seen a picture of is a good choice.

Both B2C and Soloman Brothers are respected PS vendors.

Advice...use a vendor that has picture of their stones. GOG, James Allen, Enchanted Diamonds, Brilliantly Engaged...
 
Thank you for the reply. I am in contact with them to try and get some pics and info. Is there anything specific I should ask for?

What do you think about the cut and measurements?

The one from B2C is a mess, take a look at the ASET and note the lack of structure and red color. All the white means light leakage and green means minimal return.

James Allen one is slightly better structure but you can certainly find better performance for your money.

You haven't mentioned a budget, but I found Good Old Gold and Brilliantly Engaged to offer the best performing cushion cuts.

Compare the ASET of this stone to the B2C and you should see what I am talking about:

If you can go down in color to I this is a nice slightly oblong stone:

Thank you for the relpy. I really like the oblong one you pointed out, but it is a little out of my budget. I was really hoping to stay below $5,500 with sub $5,500 being ideal. Do you think you can find me one like that in my budget but also possible in H color? Thanks
 
I was able to get some pics. Please let me know what you think. Thanks.

What stone is this a picture of? Link?

Its got a pretty big black line through the center of the stone. I don't care for it.

The pictures are of this stone which are the same as in the first post. There are probably better optic and attractive options out there but I do like the dimensions and color of this particular stone. If anyone can find me a better option with similar dimensions that would be great. Thanks!

I checked JA and didnt really see anything that I thought..."that's it". Here is the list I narrowed it down to but nothing jumps
out at me.

Here are some at enchanted diamonds that may be worth looking at. Would be nice if you could get more regular pictures.

I think I like this one the best from your list that is still available but should I worry that it is an I color as I was hoping for a H or G?
