Hi all, I am really new to this and have been reading up on factors to consider for cushion cuts, but there are just so many! Really hoping someone experienced with cushion cuts can help me decide - we want to finish buying in 2 hours.

Which one has less of a "crushed ice" look, more fire/sparkle, appears larger?
Is it accurate to say its biggest downside is the girdle (Slightly Thick - Very Thick) ?

My top picks are below, but please recommend other ones if you find a better one!
1. https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/cushion-cut/0.87-carat-g-color-vs1-clarity-sku-2394520 0.87 Carat G Color VS1
2. https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/cushion-cut/0.84-carat-h-color-vvs2-clarity-sku-2537666 0.84 Carat H Color VVS2
 
What are the specs you are looking for? Color, clarity, price...
 
Hi, I'm looking for G-H, VS2 or better, max CAD 3500, and fairly square in shape (1.05 or under). Thanks in advance!
 
Any thoughts?

Agree with ac117...neither of these is well cut (or reflecting light well). Pass on both...
The one that ac has posted is nice.
 
Thank you both!
