Help needed selecting cushion cut for ASET images.

[johnmatthew11]

Hi All,

I have already used one of my ASET scans on JA and posted it in the forum but the reviews indicated I could do better as there was not much red under the table (thank you to those who responded). Before I requested my other two, I wanted to get the forum’s opinion as they have said I am limited to 3. Here are the three I was considering but also am open to any suggestions as I am out of my element when it comes to diamond selection. Here are the general spec’s/budget I was working with initially.

Cut: Cushion (square) modern facet structure
Color G-H
Clarity SI1-VS1
CT: 1.75-2
Cut very good - excellent
Price 13K-16k

The three that I was considering ordering ASET scans these but if anyone has other suggestions they are more than welcome. Thank you for any assistance!
John

#2 and 3 are worth looking at further. I don't like #1 at all.

I agree 2 and 3. 1 - I don't like the cut at all and faces up smaller then the others.

I say
no,
maybe,
no.

Let me look at what JA has.
I didnt find anything that really jumped out at me. These are the ones that I thought looked decent.

I am new and certainly not an expert, but I like the first one. It sparkles more and appears brighter to me. The others look darker, and the 3rd one has an inclusion right in the middle of the table.

They are all very pretty though. Good luck!

Thank you so much for your help. Do you have another source besides James Allen that you would recommend I expand my search to? I was just referred to JA by a friend but if they do not have what I am looking for I will move on.

Thanks again,

John
