Hi FifeBoy and welcome!

If you could give us a bit more info please that would help us to help you. Firstly, are these diamonds GIA graded? Have you seen these in person or are they with an online vendor? If online, images such as ASET are essential as we cannot possibly judge these stones from a few basic numbers unfortunately or tell you which is better. What are the prices of each?

If you could fill us in with a bit more info then we can go from there.

Both GIA graded. Both to be purchased from two different shops and I''ve seen both in person. Both lovely. Prices are inclusive of the setting etc but A is £700 cheaper.

Have you looked at many cushions or done much research to know exactly the type of cushion you want? Also are you outside the US? Just guessing from your avatar name, I hope you don't mind my asking but knowing if you are outside the US and are buying from a store rather than online can sometimes indicate a different approach to helping you might be better. We are more limited in assisting you than if you had images of each diamond etc but there are still things we can do to help you.

Can''t help you unless you post the GIA cert and an image of the diamond. You can''t really judge cushions by numbers but no huge red flags.
