Do you think this stone is an old cut or not?

I cropped the photo for a closer look but bc of the angle I can’t totally tell. It’s listed as cushion and not specifically old cut and also as irradiated. I’m not very familiar with irradiation of diamonds - are they already low color yellow but done so to enhance the yellow or are they typically white to be made to look fancy yellow?

Not.

Looks like a modified cushion brilliant cut to me
 
modern
nuked stones start out as browns.
Yellow off the top of my head requires more steps after being nuked.
It also looks like a bad Photoshop job the real color in all probability is nothing like that shown
 
This looks really interesting. Please keep us posted with what you learn about this ring.

I’m not in the market which is why I came to PS rather than ask seller for additional pictures! I would love a fancy old cut one day.
 
Makes sense. I would love an old cut as well, and they've been irradiating diamonds for a long time. Who knows where those lines might intersect?
