Buying a Diamond for my GF

[carlabad]

Hi there. I am looking for some advice on which diamond to buy. She has beforehand expressed that she would like a cushion cut diamond. I have a budget on about 4.400$. But it wouldn't hurt to spend a little less. These are the ones i have found a James Allen.

I am leaning towards these two:
209221
229869

And this one. But will the fogginess of it be visible ?
144222

Link doesn't work for me But it is probably just me as the JA site I have always had trouble with.

2things.

The only one I would pick would be the h&a one, but I feel bad because it was just recommended to someone else.


And why exclude si1 in your search? They can be just as eye clean and cheaper to boot!

 

[carlabad]

Which one is the h&a one ?

Its probably not a true hearts and arrows, but I mean the one one that looks like a modern round.

They are all cut too deep and #4 the table is to large so I would pass on all of them.

This one looks like it could be a really nice modern cushion and though it's an .85, its measurements are larger than even the 1 ct. you have in your list of favorites. It'd be one I'd include when asking for ASETs. That and 229869.

I like this one very much!!!!!

OP for what it is worth I think you should buy cushions for how much you like the facet patterns and how well they perform. I believe on PS for buying cushions people recommend Table % of 54-65% and depth % of 59-64%. However I personally like 49-55% table and 63-69% depth. I want a clear and crisp facet pattern (no crushed ice or mushy looking facets).
