Need help choosing a stone PLEASE

[2style]

Hi! I'm upgrading my ring and trying to decide between these two stones. Attached are a few pictures of the stones and one is of them actually set in a mounting. The radiant is a 3.72 F and the cushion is a 4.70 D though the dimensions of the stone are very similar, with the cushion slighty larger in length and width most of the carat weight is in the depth. When I look at the pictures, I dont always see the cushion being whiter even though it is on the cert. I only have until Monday to decide as another jeweler is interested in the cushion. I would love to hear some of your opinions and what you'll think is a prettier stone. Thanks so much

I like the cushion. Not because of the color but because I like the cut. But of course both are stunning.

OMG gorgeous! I'm so jealous :greengrin:
I prefer the cushion

What a wonderful dilemma to be pondering!
I'm liking the radiant cut stone Just seems to sparkle that little bit more. Also, is it worth the $ to have that few carats more in the cushion if you don't really see it? It's probably just me but I prefer the cushion cuts to be a little wider than this one. It looks a teeny bit long.

Whichever you choose, your ring will be GORGEOUS. Make sure you come back and show us the finished product.

I kinda like the cishion more as I think it sparkles a little more livlier in compare to the other one

What's lovely situation-congrats to you! My fav is always a cushion cut. I agree with Stylishfarmer on this one though-can't really see the difference in size that greatly. If price were no object, I'd pick cushion just because of soft lines, love how this one is rectangular, etc. However, the radiant is so beautiful, sparkling and nicely cut like the cushion that if there was a large price difference, I would choose that one.

Both beautiful - congrats
I also like the cushion more

I like the cushion as well but I'd also say because I favor that cut

Love cushion cuts too. Hard choice though, can see why you asked for opinions

I'm partial to cushions. Radiant cuts look so messy to me.

First reaction is go with the bigger one lol. If you're putting it in a halo I like the cushion, for a solitaire style I like the radiant. Those clipped corners are soooo elegant.

Wow! Congrats. I love the cushion cut! Looks so much sparkly in the last two pics.

Both gorgeous!
With that being said...you will be losing carat weight buying a deeper stone, can't see a carat weight difference between the two stones. Between the two the cushion is facing up whiter, just slightly, IMHO.
Since you have seen them both IRL...I think you'll have to use your gut feeling when choosing.
Is this the setting you're considering?

I prefer the cushion, but that is only because with sharper corners, like on the radiant, I prefer step cuts.
