Choosing between these three cushions...

[bertrande80]

We have been on the look out for a nice H&A cushion and these stones have caught our eye and wonder if any of these in particular stands out? We are inclined to go with the BGD Signature cushion for now because their settings are gorgeous and this is in a G color as opposed to H colors for the two stones on GOG's website but thought I would call in for a check since they seem to be otherwise quite similar.

Keen to hear any thoughts.

Well.

I honestly don't have a preference between G or H in something that has ideal light return.
And there is a 3k difference. Which is nothing to sneeze at.
But, if 3k isn't a big deal for you... and the G is a bit more "mindclean" then you would have to decide if that's worth 3k to you.

I do have a strong preference for BGD's settings, however. I love the lines they carry and their in house designs. And buying both from one vendor is easier.

I don't think there is a wrong answer.

I have bought from BGD before. A couple times. And I would again. I have the utmost faith in Brian and Lesley. So that means something to me.

But there are a LOT of people who have been very happy with GOG. So again, I don't think there is a wrong answer.

Thank you Gypsy. Good to hear you don't see much of a difference between the stones. Yes, I am still debating whether the 3k price difference is worth the one color grade, especially given that one of the H stones from GOG is very slightly bigger.
