Cushion - Picking one out of these three

[SIB]

I am very close to pulling the trigger on one of these. Tried to get a balance of quality w/size. Obvisouly there is about a 2K price difference between #1 & #3 but I''m more concerned about the quality aspect.

I would really appreciate anyones feedback on these both good or bad.

Thanks

Hi...

Looking at what you have provided in the way of numbers---and remember numbers regarding fancy cuts is not the deciding factor per say--I would consider the 1.50 cushion more. The depth is better and so is the table. #3 has too shallow of depth in my opinion comparatively to the table.

But if you have personally seen these stones, that is the deciding factor. Especially with cushion cuts, what the diamond says to YOU is the clincher. I looked at alot of stones and in the end, it was more about the cut--which is overall the most important factor for me, the way it faced up as white as possible, and the cost. Budget restraints kept me from exploring too big or too many other cushions.

Just my thoughts on this...

Hi SIB and welcome,
I am still learning about cushions so I can''t be of much help. I do know that I prefer ex/ex for polish and symmetry and have you seen the I color in person? fancy tend to not hide color as well as rounds and I really wouldn''t want to go below an H. I saw an H a couple of days ago next to an F, granted they were next to each other, but I prefered the F.
