Help with this cushion

[Helen0414]

Hi! I am looking to purchase a cushion diamond but I’m still new to understanding the shape. Could anyone tell me if this cushion is good? Does it have enough contrast and will sparkle enough? Thank you in advance!

You should put this stone on hold while you wait for the experts to chime in.

Can you request the GIA report?

I like the shape and the crown looks pretty decently high enough. Could be a tad mushy under the table (along the edge)
but that is relative (many are far worse, but there are a few better). It's hard to find nice elongated cushions. See if JA can give you
an ASET image and post. I don't think they usually can but doesn't hurt to ask. I would really like to see this one in person. It
could go either way for me but without it in hand...I can't say.

Do you have to have high clarity (IF)? You'll extremely limit yourself.

Have you checked Blue Nile? They have a few elongated cushions but may not be clean enough for you.

Here is the Gia report. JamesAllen did not have the ASET for this diamond. I don’t have to have IF clarity but I wanted something under $10k that’s D-F color, IF-VVS2 clarity, and elongated. This was the best one that caught my attention on both JamesAllen and BlueNile. Oh I did have a second one I like. I ll link it here. Would this one be better?
