Brellia vs BGD Signature H&A Cushion?

[D-n-A]

Hi All,

I'm looking for some input on a Brellia vs a BGD Signature H&A Cushion. I have reviewed SycophantPS detailed post response about the topic last year, but I haven't seen a post about a general side by side comparison. I believe they are both extremely well cut stones, but was wondering if either has the edge in fire potential and scintillation.

This will go a long way to helping me decide on an engagement stone as the Brellia (1.26 F VS2) I'm looking is 10+% more than the comparable (1.25 G VS1) BGD H&A.

I realize the best way is to see and compare them in person, but I'm just looking for some initial opinions.

Thanks in Advance,

The ASET on the Brellia looks like it has a cleaner contrast pattern, but they both look like they'd be visually stunning performers. That said, I like the fact that the BGD cushion has more face up area - if you like a little bit more of a rectangular shape. It has a full mm more lengthwise on the Brellia, which is very noticeable.
