I just worry that if she isn't looking for an antique stone she might not like the AV, even though it's the best of that stone type. Has she looked at antique vs. modern cushions?

Yes, better that she be involved if possible if she prefers a cushion.

Compare the facet patterns to the one on the AV cushion.

I LOVE these because they are like a hybrid of round (H&A) with cushion shape.

We just looked into after you suggestion but aren't antique stones more expensive?

Not necessarily. Sometimes they can be a better value than ideal rounds, but you have to look at them on a stone-by-stone basis. The branded stones, both ideal rounds and antique-style cuts, tend to be more expensive than generics.

Large-ish table, low crown, inclusions in the middle of the table... the latter is personal tolerance but the angles are outside the usual Pricescope recommended ranges.

If you are looking for options, do use the search bar at the top of the forum - and in the case of modern round brilliants, use the Filters section to select only stones with an 'Excellent' HCA score.
