Help with cushion (ASET included)

[penguins]

Thoughts on this stone? I think it looks amazing on James Allen website.

The ASET has some large black spots that are somewhat troubling, but I am certainly no expert.

Any advice is appreciated!

It's lovely. Black is same as blue. It's nothing to worry abljt in this context.

Are you going to buy it? And how are you going to set it?

Yes, I think I am probably going to pull the trigger on this one. I know she (and I for that matter) like the 8-main faceting and this is the first one I have seen within her target specifications and my target budget. I was originally shooting for less than 35k, but willing to stretch a bit for this as I think she will really like it.

Setting wise, she just wants a simple platinum solitaire band as she doesn't want to take anything away from the *relatively* large stone. Non-cathedral style. Ultimately she wants a full eternity wedding band, and I think when she has tried on samples she enjoyed the contrast of the eternity band against the plain engagement band. I haven't decided on doing knife edge vs more traditional. Thoughts?

No knife edge. This is the setting I recommend: http://www.briangavindiamonds.com/engagement-rings/novela-platinum-5517p
