Opinion on Cushion Cut Diamond

[appl3]

Hi everyone, came across this cushion cut and wanted to see what you experts think. Basically, what are the ideal dimensions?

Cushion cut with the following specs:

Cushions are evaluated visually more than by numbers. Can you get a straight head-on shot of the stone so we can see the facet pattern? The other thing that helps is when we can see an ASET image showing light return, but that is done with loose stones. So try to get a close up picture of the face of the stone and we can tell you more.

Just a quick question here, does the plotting diagram as shown in the cert is it the pattern facet that you need to know?

No, the diagram on the cert is not an accurate depiction of a particular stone. It's pretty much a general diagram for each kind of diamond. Note that the diagrams are always symmetrical and facet patterns in cushions often are not. It's just an illustration to show the measurements and some of the main inclusions, not all.
