Experts! Please help me choose between these diamonds

[Emeraldcutlover88]

Forum readers,

I have to say originally I was dead set on getting an Emerald Cut, then the one I liked, after reading many posts, turned out to be a dud with frames that went OFF at the same time! So I have to THANK EVERYONE WHO HELPED ME!!!

Now that I've refocused and fell in love with OMC Cushions, I've come across 3 diamonds that are in the running. 2 are August Vintage and 1 is a Royal Chandelier (which is on hold for someone else right now). But I'll post specs just so you have

My question, the two diamonds i'm looking at are so similar in size and color, I'm having trouble choosing--is there something you experts and your trained eyes see in the flashes of light which are better than another, or perhaps in the ASET? Please help!

Thank you! and if you have suggestions for settings, I'd love it!

I'm not an expert, but watched the video and was immediately attracted to the one on the right. I'll have to watch it more times though...

I like both of the GOG stones. Are you ok with an L?

hi Whitewave. thank you for looking at video!

Hi Tyty333 - as far as I can see the K and the L doesn't have much of a difference. The L for me has a bit more tint, but there aren't a lot of options for the AVC. These two seem to have the most lively flashes of color, so I'm not stuck on the L convention. More on that they look pretty good but my eye isn't as discerning as all y'all!

for giggles, if you want to see the cushions in other lighting, please see:

1.63 LVS2 AVC

I like the L - maybe because it is more elongated or it looks like the corners are more square than rounded like the K....not sure, but it just looks more attractive to me

Bumping to get more opinions and help!

I'll be the odd one out, I actually like the shape and overall look of the stone on the left so the 1.51 KVS2 AVC in the video with all the stones.
