Q&A: Cushion Cut for Platinum Setting

I like cushion cut diamonds in engagement rings, and was wondering what you think of this one:

I was thinking a cushion cut would look good in this setting:

I have learned a lot from reading on your site and would appreciate your opinion. Thanks!

It seems like you have this diamond buying process down pat. I love the diamond you selected.

Let me know how it looks when it arrives.

Thanks so much about your opinion on that diamond. I will let you know how it looks when/if it arrives!

Best of luck.

Could you please tell me if the following two diamonds are eye clean? I would appreciate it.

Thanks

They are.

Thanks for checking them out for me!

I was hoping to get a little help from you again about that diamond, since I am looking at diamonds seriously now. I could be mistaken, but it seems like the cloud in it is a little dark. Do you think so? Are clouds ever dark?

I think you are seeing a little more into the picture that is actually there. If the diamond was an SI2 or I1 solely based on the cloud, maybe you’d see a darker/hazy area. There is no way the cloud in those diamonds is big enough or strong enough to have any impact on the appearance of the diamond or the light performance.

Okay. Thank you for clearing that up for me (no pun intended). I appreciate your help a lot!

Let me know how it looks when it arrives.
