Need help finding a diamond!

[Bruin945]

Can any of the experts out there help me find a 1 ct cushion under 5k? I am looking to put it into a halo and would like to stay as near colorless as possible.

Square or rectangular?

Here are two suggestions, one in square and other in rectangular cushion

You need to purchase a cushion from a vendor that has pictures with cushions or can get them. The numbers may be perfect and it might not be an attractive cushion.

Here are some from JA. You can request asset images on 3.

You could also call GOG and give them your budget and specs you are looking for and they maybe able to find you more options.


Here are a couple from ERD

Also make sure you look at the spread on the cushions not just carat weight they do not all face up the same. I am not a cushion expert by any means hopefully you will get more responses.
