Help a newbie :)

Hi all

I was hoping for a little advice (please). I've been a long time lurker and reader of the forum, but its approached the time where I'm going to be making the move into buying a ring for my hopefully future fiancée. I've found a ring that I think she'd love and here are the stats:
--------------------------------------
Shape: Square Cushion
Cut: Brilliant
Colour: E
Clarity: VVS2
Carat: 1.41

Precision of Cut: Excellent
Symmetry: Very Good
Polish: Excellent
Fluorescence: None

6.90x6.75x4.45 (Length x Width x Depth)

Total Depth Percentage 65.9%
Table size Percentage 67%
Crown Height Percentage 11.7%
Pavilion Depth Percentage 50.4%

Pavilion Angle 44.8 Degrees
Crown Angle 32.1 Degrees
--------------------------------------

What do you pricescope experts thing of the above?

Thanks in advance for your opinions.

do you have images?

 

[Dazzled]

Not yet. Just for clarity, I've not purchased the ring yet.
I've asked the vendor for some pictures which I hope will be forthcoming.

You really want to know if it's a cushion brilliant, old mine brilliant, or modified brilliant on the cert -- that is step 1. Step 2 is looking at the plot to figure out if it is a 8-main, 4-main, etc because the cutting style really varies for a cushion and it totally affects the look and light return. Btw, in a 1.41 ct, you're really really really going to notice the differences in cushion cutting styles.

My other comment is: Table % is bigger than depth %. It will give you a different look and different type of light return than a cushion that is deeper with a smaller table. I prefer smaller tables, but this is just a matter of preference -- and smaller tables and steeper crown angles (that go with smaller tables as a matter of cutting style wrt the old mine brilliants) have different light "challenges".

If you've settled on a square cushion, the other question is whether you want a square cushion with rounded corners and straight sides (like a H&A square cushion) or a square cushion with rounded corners and rounded sides (like this one: [URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/opinions-on-h-a-cushion.149861/#post-2715685']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/opinions-on-h-a-cushion.149861/#post-2715685,,[/URL], some say that this looks like a squished round).

Kaleigh - Nope, its not one of the PS vendors. I have to be careful divulging too much info here as my gf is also a reader of this site!!

antelope1 - Thank you for you thoughts. My understanding is that the cut is a Cushion Brilliant. I'm still looking around and will keep your comments in mind on my search!

if you're looking for a cushion I suggest CCL's guide to help you navigate the world of cushions, because not all cushions or even cushion brilliants will have the same appearance.
