Cushion Taste Test: Need your eyes NOT the specs!

[subscribe]

I thought this would be a fun exercise. I'd like to test your eyes, on what they see. Brightness, darkness, each has their own personality. Obviously angles, lighting conditions, etc. all are significant factors - but for this static shot test, what do you think? #1, #2, or #3?

I will reveal the details later!

Re: Cushion Test: Need your eyes NOT the specs!

Here is a hand shot of one of the stones.

#3 for me...

 

[Enerchi]

Based on that single static shot, I would prefer 1 or 3. In 1, I can see a culet (I like a culet on a stone that is to appear antique) and it appears to be a squarer cushion. In 3, it appears to have no culet and it a softer, rounded cushion shape. Both 1 & 3 have chunkier facet patterns.

I'm so bad at making decisions... so my decision is ... 1 or 3!!!

#3.

 

[Asscherhalo_lover]

#3 here as well, based on the more square look to it VS. # 1.

 

[yssie]

2 is out for me - tilt angle is not that steep, and it's visibly less bright at that angle than the other two.

 

[GirlyGirl]

I think you are holding #1.

I like 1 or 3. Do not prefer 2.

You are correct, it is #1 that is being held.

In the same order. Other then color, check out these crown angles!

 

[Enerchi]

[lin_ny]

3. No question.

 

[ariel144]

3's the one

 

[starrynight]

Pillowy outline with the chunky facets...#3!

 

[motownmama]

I didn't read ahead - I vote #3.

 

[OCgirl]

I didn't read ahead before choosing and I picked #3. I see most people did too...

 

[Haven]

I never thought it'd be such an overwhelming decision. Amazing.

Here is #3. In the lineup with all three stones, it looks bright under the table.
Here, not so much.

 

[ascari_2]

3, then 1, then far behind that pair 2

Looks perfectly fine. Lots of contrast, but contrast and patterning aren't bad 'darkness' they are good 'darkness' if you will. Did you see number 1 in exactly the same photo set up? Cause unless you did, I wouldn't rule it out based on that image.

Can you have both sent to you and pick one IN PERSON? That's really the best way to chose.

 

[justginger]

Definitely #3. Gorgeous.
