Help me decide on this lab grown diamond from LGD!

[Mosocial]

I am in the market to buy a lab grown 1.5 ct elongated cushion. I have read through many posts and would like to get the experts advise on the right quality and bang for my buck. I have narrowed down to this which seems to fit my criteria but would like expert advise if it is indeed a good value for the diamond described (from loose grown diamonds)

Hello, Mosocial!
Looks like it has potential to be a good elongated cushion based on the 360 video, but I am not super well versed with elongated cushion cuts.
It's listed for under $450...is it feasible for you to order it as a loose diamond and assess it while it's in the return policy, just in case?

Thank you. I could do that. How does one find good deals on settings after wards especially if you don’t have a specific jeweler to go to?

I'm not an expert on elongated cushions, but I do own one. My video had it lying down and tilted rather on the north-south axis like this.

I'm a little concerned that there might be a bunch of mushiness in the center. Paul Gian of byeond4cs.com helped me choose my cushion. You could email him and see what he says.

I'm not sure that we have many elongated cushion experts here. Maybe @Karl_K would know? However, I think he's had some health problems.

Wishing you luck! I love my elongated cushion!

For reference, I bought a 2.17 G from Brian Gavin for $1200. Prices have definitely come down, but I also got a good deal of customer service from them.

As for settings afterwards, you could send it to David Klass in LA. He sets PS'ers stones all the time. Won't be the cheapest, but will be great quality.
