been searching for 8 months now...pulling the trigger within 24 hours!

I would like to thank everyone on the forums here for being so helpful during my entire search! I just need some final input before I place my order.

I am actively communicating with Darin at James Allen. He selected a handful of .5 to .6 ct. cushion-cut diamonds for me to choose from. I just asked him for details on one of the ones he selected, plus two others of my own selection. Here they are: diamond 1; diamond 2, diamond 3. Also, the setting and matching band.

Just a preview: all cushion cut, 0.60-0.61 ct, E-G, SI1-SI2, ex. polish, vg symmetry, no culet, 1.03-1.05 ratio, 62%-64% table. Depth varies from 62%-70%. One stone has medium blue fluorescence.

Any input / buying advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Do you have the ASET image for these stones?

Currently waiting on details / imaging for the stones listed. Will post when I receive...

First one you will need to check it is eyeclean, the photo to be honest does not look great.

Same with the second, also check the cloud inclusion mentioned isn't causing a loss of brilliance.

The last one check again it is eyeclean, it looks the best out of these three to me. Are these the types of cushions you want? Have you looked at any and compared the different types?

www.goodoldgold.com have some excellent cushion comparison videos which might be helpful to you. If you could post the ASET images when you get them that would also be helpful.
