Looking at upgrading my wife's engagement ring. Found what looks to me like an attractive candidate, but would love some feedback:

Stats:
Cushion Modified Brilliant
7.81 x 6.46 x 4.44 mm
1.80 carat, D, VS1
Polish: Excellent
Symmetry: Very good
Fluor: Medium Blue1592800343650.png1592800385735.png1592800405666.png
 
Can you provide us with the link?
Cannot say anything with this photo
 
Also, I'd call Jonathan at Distinctive Gem, he has some well priced cushions listed in house, but no photos - but he can certainly select a nice one for you.
 
Did she specifically asked for an elongated cushion?

What is your budget? Are you looking at specific carat weights and/or other perimeters?

My first impressions on that stone are that D is overkill and the cut is not pleasing to my eye.

This one is pretty if you're wiling to go down to an H: https://www.bluenile.com/diamond-de...NDS&track=viewDiamondDetails&catalogView=true

The one I posted is too deep, imo, but I was just focused on an appealing cut.

I don't care for the center faceting. In the video much of the center facets look like they will go dark all at once. Other areas look like uneven chaotic faceting to me on the video as well, but everyone has different preferences.

I wouldn't select this stone personally. Perhaps if you really like it, they can get you an ASET image.
 
I also don't love this one. The video makes it seem like there wont be much scintilation, and that the facets might all "go dark" at once, which you dont want. I like the options posted above by @kb1gra
