Hi folks!
I have been in the market for an elongated cushion modified brilliant (hybrid) for ages. I absolutely adore the chunky facets of a cushion brilliant, but I know how hard those are to find in elongated shapes, let alone in a lab diamond. I had previously purchased a stone that was rated H and found it to be far too warm for my liking and it ended up being crushed ice (my mistake when reviewing the faceting pattern and video).
I purchased a stone (yay!!) but I'm still anxiously waiting for it to arrive. To alleviate my anxiety, I would love anyone who has more expertise than I to weigh in on the stone quality and let me know if there's anything I should keep an eye out for when the stone arrive.

IGI Report:
P.S. - I have read the many negative reviews about BE, but it happened to be the first retailer that had a stone that met my criteria (color: G+, LTW ratio: 1.16 - 1.2, clarity: SI1+) after months of searching. I hope to have the stone set in a shared prong cathedral setting by David Klass or a local jeweler.
Thanks a ton in advance
