Need expert advice on selecting between 2 cushion cut diamonds

[Girl505]

I have two cushion cut diamonds which are similar that I am debating between. It seems that they would face up similarly, even though they have different carat weights. The seller of the cushion cut with a 61% depth claims that deeper stones do not sparkle as much, therefore, hers is superior to the 67% one as it offers more spread for less carat weight. It is also 20% cheaper than the other diamond. I am wondering if this statement is true and if you were to choose which diamond you would pick?

For spread I would definitely pick the smaller one but as to say which performs better, I think we would need to see a video or each

You can't pick a fancy cut by the numbers. W would need to see videos and ASET's are always helpful in evaluating performance

I’ll be uploading videos of both soon. I’m still waiting to receive a video of one of them. I was also told one vendor doesn’t provide ASET reports on their diamonds so I won’t be able to share that.

You could purchase your own ASETscope then you could use it at other jewellers who don't tell you fibs about depth dictating sparkle
