Help with choice of cushion cut

[Lottie123]

Hi,

I am considering this cushion cut diamond

http://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/cushion-cut-loose-diamond-3714706.htm

Can anyone identify any possible issues with it?

Thanks in advance

Yikes and yuck. Yes it is terrible. Hold off for now. We will help tomorrow.

Please read these two threads, IN DETAIL, and in order.

They should explain it for you.
First this one (study the information and follow the links I post)

Thanks for the advice!

It is all very confusing! Are there any cushions on this website that you would recommend? I just want something that is eye clean D-G and as close to 2 carats as possible for under £13,000. Thank you!

Does this look any good?

No, that is a terrible cushion. A well cut cushion looks larger, is brighter, more attractive and whiter than poorly cut ones.

I would recommend you consider H color. Cushions that are well cut have great light performance and hide color very well.

Here is the heaviest stones that are white and H color for you. The H color lets you get very close to 2 carats.

Here is the heaviest G color or better:

Here are rectangular cushions that are F color and cut well:

DO NOT COMPARE CARAT WEIGHT with cushions. A 1.6 cushion can be LARGER than a 1.8 cushion. WEIGHT is meaningless. Compare DIMENSIONS.
