Does this cushion have a good cut???

Hi Pricescopers!
Another newbie here--I am talking with LM about an e-ring upgrade with a cushion center and French cut side stones. Given my budget, Perry recommended this center stone. I would really appreciate your opinions on the cut. I think I understand the color/clarity issues but am clueless on how to evaluate cut on a cushion. GIA cert and a photo are attached and the link below shows a video. Thanks so much!!

Just by that photo, it looks to have a really nice cut. If Perry picked it out, then I doubt it's a dud! Did he send you an ASET?

looks good!

nope, I don't have an aset. I just went with it based on the good things I've read about Perry on the PS board. What do you look at in the cut on a cushion? I've gathered that the numbers don't tell the story like they seem to with a RB.

That's why we recommend aset images for any other shape...the aset image will show you how well the stone performs.

I'll email Perry and ask if he has an ASET image he can share with me.
