I'd say I cant really tell much from that picture...sorry. Can you get any other pictures?

That's a really difficult picture to tell anything by.

Hi there, while I can't tell much by the photo, I have also been searching for a cushion. When I've seen them in person, the ones with the plot/pattern shown in the attached GIA cert do not appeal to me personally. While this is personal preference, I do not care for the light return on the edges of the stone when it's cut where the mains don't reach the outer edge of the stone. Were you able to see this stone or others in person?

Thanks for your replies. What kind of picture should I request? Sorry I'm
A newbie at this!

Alissak,

An Idealscope or ASET (preferred) image will help us address its light performance. Most cushions don’t have as much brightness as a modern RB but there are well cut exceptions that rival any RB in light return. An ASET will let us see how much leakage there is throughout the stone.

I’m with RayNay111 on this point: If a diamond does not reflect light well to the edges it will appear smaller to the naked eye when you’re away from bright lights. An ASET will help reveal this.

Its also odd that the light is shining so unevenly on the stone. I would definitely not be comfortable buying based on photos like that, and would certainly hope the vendor would be willing to offer much more.
