BlueNile Cushion H&A - What do you think?

[Scruffy]

I started a thread a few days ago about a 1.13 I SI1 BN Cushion HA. I was going back and forth about buying, but I think my girlfriend actually prefers Cushion H&A. I know the pictures aren't the best, but tell me what you think. I also tried to take a couple pictures through my ASET Scope If you need better picture quality, I'll try to get that. In addition to the pictures:

Do you think an I colored diamond would be okay in a tacori setting w/ G color diamonds in a pave setting? I'm not emotionally tied to the diamond yet, so any honest criticism would be accepted. Thanks

Do you have a closeup face up view of the diamond?

I actually recently purchased one of these myself and it looks quite nice.

I was actually wondering if the tension clasp could do any damage to the diamond if I left it in there for a while. It's quite stiff and on the edges, and I've heard diamonds can chip?

I think these BN Cushion H&A have a lot of potential. I like their more rounded shape .. more than the Briella.

It looks like it is a beautiful stone! Do you see any tint in the stone? If it looks pretty white, it should be fine in that setting. I prefer antique cushions in some Tacori settings, but this one is more modern, so I think the cushion H&A will work!

These are the best pictures I have for now. Hopefully I can get some better ones soon.

It looks white to me, but I have a hard time noticing color unless it's next to another stone. I'm going out of town this weekend, but I'll take it to a tacori dealer next week to see how it looks before I decide to keep the stone or not.

Looks fantastic. thanks for posting. Your I center with the ideal light return will be fine with the G melee. The difference you see will be from the performance of those tiny facets. In some light my F/G melee out whites my F center... it's just the way the tiny facets of the tiny stones perform.
