Which cushion?

[Tritan84]

Hey everyone,

Just wanted some feedback on which cushion diamond to purchase.

Sub $10,000 was my goal and I've narrowed it down to these 2. Most importantly, I was looking for maximal size, but with a decent combination of the 4 C's.

2. http://www.b2cjewels.com/dd-3552081-1.57-carat-Cushion-diamond-H-color-VS2-clarity.aspx

#1's pic is the actual one dislpayed when you click the link. I like that it is excellent cut, with a G color and VS2.


This is #2: https://mail-attachment.googleusercontent.com/attachment/u/0/?ui=2&ik=b62fc5e07d&view=att&th=141f10be985ccce1&attid=0.1&disp=inline&safe=1&zw&saduie=AG9B_P_eLbhB8W4H1jHsC4O42Ole&sadet=1382729428987&sads=QAISSzyQ9In7JIAwB33okHebzpM

#2 is larger, but with lower rated C's. Though, i think it still looks great.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks,
-Anthony

If K color isn't too high for you, check out these choice stones:

1.53ct, K color
http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/11107/

This one gives you considerably more size (verify it is eye-clean to your standards):
1.73ct, K color
http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/11102/

Both are beautiful stones. the 1.53 stone is significantly smaller though and the 1.73 stone has about the same surface area (LxW) as the the stones i previously listed. It also has that visible blemish. I also like the more rectangular shape

Can't see the picture for #2, please upload.

Crown heights? AVCs have both high crown height and good spread compared to modified brilliant cushions.
