Hello,
After spending weeks browsing local jewelers searching for a quality, reasonably priced, Cushion Cut diamond, I have decided to go the online route. I am searching for a 0.90ct. - 1.15ct. loose cushion cut diamond between $3,500 - $4,500. My idea is to purchase the loose diamond online, and then buy the setting at a local jewler. I have narrowed it down to a few that I found on Blue Nile, however, I cannot decide on which one to go with.
Option 1:
Cut = "Good"
Carat Wt. = 1.11
Color = H
Clarity = VVS2
Depth % = 66.8
Table % = 65
L/W Ratio = 1.00 (She wants a more square cut diamond)
Price = $4,415
Option 2:
Cut = "Good"
Carat Wt. = 0.97
Color = G
Clarity = VVS2
Depth % = 69.5
Table % = 57
L/W Ratio = 1.04
Price = $4,244
Option 3:
Cut = "Good"
Carat Wt. = 1.14
Color = H
Clarity = SI1
Depth % = 69.6
Table % = 63
L/W Ratio = 1.02
Price = $4,213
Is there a real difference in BN's "Good" and "Very Good" cuts for Cushion Cut diamonds? Any advice you cuys may have would be greatly appreciated. I am planning on a surprise proposal in 2.5 weeks!
Thanks!
Brent
