Opinions on two cushions needed!

[midwestgirl]

Hi guys~

I took your advice and called Mark at ERD...and you were right, he's great! Here are 2 cushions that he is suggesting (he has them in his office and says they are both beautiful). I know it is incredibly difficult to tell much about them without seeing them in person, but any thoughts, comments, or opinions would be appreciated! What's your favorite?

Hey!

I think both those stones look really great! I think it just depends on what you want. I can definitely tell the color difference, but I don''t know if I can really tell the size difference apart since the stones aren''t facing up. But they do both look really nice...but I am still kind of a newbie in this area so I don''t know how much you can trust my opinion! I''m also in the process of looking for a cushion from Mark @ ERD and he''s really great to work with. Honestly, I think either one will be great!

We need better pics. That''s about all I can say other than one has better spread the other better color.

Ditto what Gypsy said. If Mark or Gary can send you some clearer photos in the face up position, it would be easier to see what the facet structure looks like. There is definitely more color in the H stone at this angle, but the G is losing a bit of spread in the depth and perhaps the girdle (which goes to Extremely Thick).
