Cushion ASET help me please

[alexrn]

I requested this ASET from James Allen on a cushion I am interested in. Please any advice and or opinions would be so appreciated.
I am looking for cushion in the 1.7-1.8 range, not color sensitive so I thought I/J color would give me better value. Here are the specs and the ASET.

The gemologist said "' pleased to say that our gemologist determined that diamond 1503043 (1.79crtcrt J VS2) has superior light performance and features very nice fire, brilliance, and scintillation. It's eye clean and has a true "J" color.

There is no blue in the ASET, should I be concerned with that? The cushions on GOG's website show ASET's with blue.

The blue parts are black in this picture, in the 4 arrows that make an X shape.

did you put on hold and ask for ASETs of other cushions? You get 3 total. What i mean is, did you give JA several to consider and this is the one they came back with as the best?

 

[alexrn]

Yes I chose three and this was the best. I am not in a rush so I guess my question is, is this the best I can do? They have such a great return policy so I am leaning on ordering it to see it in person. Thanks for explaining the blue is the black! I had not realized that. Is that because of the way the picture is taken and the background?

It's comparable to some of the diamonds on ERD and GOG right now. I think it's worth seeing in person and seeing how you feel about it.

Thank you! I am going to go for it. I don't like any of the James Allen settings. I do like many on the ERD website. Does ERD set diamonds not purchased from them? Thanks for helping!
