Best Princess Cut under $6k

[PerpetualTransient]

Hello, I have been lurking here for the past month and you guys have open my eyes to the world of diamonds. I initially bought a 1ct. D, triple ex, SI2, GIA stone from James Allen. The stone was very bright but it had a pretty big dead spot in the stone that showed no life. It was sad that my sister's $5 dollar fake ring from walmart outperformed this stone.

Fortunately, James Allen has great customer service and they promptly refunded my money as soon as I sent it back, I would love to give them my business but I want to get the best performing princess cut possible. After doing some research, I ended up putting this diamond on hold:

I think the ASET images looks great but I am a little worried that it doesn't have enough contrast due to a low representation of blues when compared to other ideal princess cuts from GOG and whitefish.

Can I do better? I really want a stone that can at least outperform a cz ring and perhaps be on par to a Tiffany's princess cut.

Thanks!

It looks like that diamond is sold. Did you buy it?

It's pretty and think it'll perform wonderfully. I also think you should consider these options.

I already purchased that diamond, but it won't be shipped till the end of the month.

This one that you showed me look great:

Between the two, which one will have the edge for performance?

I think you'd have a tough time telling the difference between the two except for size and maybe color.

There is a little light leakage on the BG one, but will probably be negligible and could be because the diamond is every so slightly angled under the idealscope.

Stick with your choice from BG. You'll be very satisfied!
