Opinion on this Radiant and Raidant v. cushion

[pacochra]

First time poster here. I was hoping to get some feedback on this stone. I''ll post pics shortly

Radiant 1.50 G SI1 EX VG GIA N 68.3% 67% 6.44x6.30x4.30

Also what are people''s thoughts on Radiant v. Cushion. I know my GF likes square stones, specifically radiants and cushions. After looking at several stones and talking to people I thought radiant was the best choice but then I saw this ring

Now I think I might like a cushion more because I think there is less sparkle and you can see the facets more clearly. Is this an accurate description of the difference between radiants and cushions?

Hi Pachocra,

Radiants normally have clipped corners which is a distinct difference between these and cushion shapes, cushions have rounded corners, apart from that both shapes can vary tremendously for faceting and appearance. Can you get an ASET image for the radiant in question please? This is a very useful tutorial on ASET and how it works.

Personally...I dont like it (I''m not a radian expert). I just dont like that round circle in the middle. Reminds me of a
fish eye.
