Another "Which diamond should I choose"

[burkhardty10]

I have no clue except for what I've read on here in the past couple weeks. I'm trying to find a mostly square cushion in the $3,000 - $4,000 range. Of course I would like to keep it close to 3. I've found these at James Allen and would like to know if I should ask for the ASETs, etc. or are there some better choices?

that first one looks pretty 'crushed ice' to me...is this the look you are going for?

 

[stone-cold11]

Does not look promising at all. ASET image will be more revealing.

 

[burkhardty10]

No, the crushed ice look is really not what I was looking for. The last 3 I posted are the ones the salesman said had the best specs in the under $4,000 range. So, I took his word for it and figured I would post here for more insight.

 

[slg47]

I would not waste one of your ASETs on the first one. Out of the three you posted, the second looks the most promising.

 

[burkhardty10]

I was able to cancel the request.

Here's the aset for 1324977 : http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/H-VS2-Ideal-Cut-Cushion-Diamond-1324977.asp

From what I've seen, I'm assuming this is crappy?

 

[tyty333]

I'm not liking the look of that aset.

Edit - I took a look and these are the ones that I liked...

A little on the crushed ice side but may be nice

what are your color and clarity preferences?

 

[burkhardty10]

I've been looking in the G-I color range. I would like it to be as white as possible.
As far as clarity, I would just like it to be eye clean. I've been trying to stay around VVS2.

for eye-clean VS2 and above should be fine. many SI1s are eye clean.
