Congrats on choosing the cushion cut!

Since you have found Pricescope, you may have seen the August Vintage Cushions from Good Old Gold mentioned. They are stunning! I would totally look at those if you like chunkier cushions!

I would not buy a diamond without seeing it. There are a lot of diamonds with similar specs on paper, but I always feel you have to fall in love with a diamond. I would choose a diamond that you consider buying and ask the broker to collect some others as well and then fly to New York. For a 3 carat stone it's worth the trip.

Cushion and definitely fly there to choose your diamond.

It's a 3 ct, you better fly there to check it out....you are not buying a 0.3 ct diamond! LOL

Go to Pricescope.com and look at photos of both.

I think cushions are very trendy right now, much more than radiants. I have the impression that nice radiants are harder to find than nice cushions. But if I were you, I would request advice from Pricescope, they can tell you what questions to ask your vendor and so forth.
Good luck.

Hi hi,

does anyone know pricess cut or radiant cut or cushion cut are more brilliant and has more sparkles? THanks

 

[Swanky]

I prefer cushions for sure. Radiants are like princesses to me and I had one and traded for a round.

I vastly prefer cushion to radiant.

Cushion is my vote. Have you ever investigated Henri Daussi? Gorgeous line and the diamond face up beautifully.

I prefer cushion especially with a halo

I have a radiant, but for your design, I'd go with cushion. not a fan of pair since I can only picture old wealthy matrons or one of the real housewives wearing them.

my vote for cushion

I definitely prefer cushion over radiant. I've never liked the faceting on the radiant cuts and the way it looks. I think Swanky described it best when she said it looked like a princess cut. I've never liked those either. I would also nix the pear for a ring. I've never liked pear cuts for rings, I feel the shape lends itself better to earrings or pendants.

I love both cuts. For earrings, I would do radiant cuts with halos that are slightly rounded at the corners....that way, you get the spreadiness of radiant with a more rounded overall effect. I think the radiant's "crushed ice" look would be absolutely stunning as earrings.
