I am getting so very frustrated in my search, as I am feeling I may not be able to get the diamond that I want in the price range that I hope to find it. Therefore, I thought I would come on here to see if the knowledgeable folks here on PS could help me out!
So I had (and still may have) my heart set on a radiant. I love the sparkle and crushed ice look of a squarish radiant, and have been searching high and low for one. However, for the budget in which I am searching, I am worried that I may not be able to find a radiant that doesn''t have that dark ring around the culet, which really really bothers me. Plus, I am having trouble finding SI1 radiants that don''t have inclusions that are very obvious and apparent to me, at least at some angle. So while I am still looking for that perfect radiant (for me), I figure I better start searching other shapes that may not have the dark circle, even if all the other specs are not ideal.
Since I like squarish shapes, I thought the next best thing may be a cushion, based on shape alone. However, I don''t know much about the sparkle differences between a cushion and a radiant. Plus, unlike radiants and other shapes, PS doesn''t provide a cut chart for cushion shapes, so I''m not sure what table size, depth, crown height, etc. I should be looking for.
Anyways, enough rambling. Any ideas? What are the main differences between radiants and cushions? Also, how can I determine whether a cushion has a good cut based on numbers?
