Hi All,
I'm in the market for a cushion diamond, swayed very much by the HW Micro Pave.
I've read alot that the modified cushions, particularly the "crushed ice versions" are regarded to be inferior to the non-modified versions with larger facets. I've seen both, and I like both. I like the near field sparkles in the crushed ice versions, and I like the bling of the antique cuts from afar. My initial love, was for the crushed ice versions, but starting to appreciate the ones with larger more defined facets, but not till the point of a hearts and arrows cushion.
Recently, I've been offered by a local jeweller the following stone, but the price was something within my budget. The stone is not in store, and I'm waiting for the jeweller to bring it in for me with a small deposit. I have not seen the stone, only the GIA cert. I noticed that the plot is quite different from regular modified cushion plots, and it seems the cheaper blue nile stones share this plot. I have not done extensive research on this, I've tried but found little information.
If you have knowledge over such a facet plot, could you share your opinion please.
And let me know, overall, your opinion if this stone could be possibly a keeper.
