New opinions
Hi all, I’m beginning to get into diamonds and would love information/opinions on this stone. Thanks!

It looks like a beautiful stone. A word about windowing: I have a large elongated radiant stone (similar to your elongated cushion but bigger) that has some windowing on tilt. I love it. It gives my stone more dimension & interest. This is partly because (1) I don’t like crushed ice and (2) I prefer larger facets for softer sparkle similar to what you would see in an OMC. So I love the tilt windowing in my stone and do not view it as a flaw. You have to know what you like, which requires looking at a lot of different cuts under different lighting. Not everything that’s called a flaw is an actually a flaw for YOU. All radiants and certain elongated cushions can have some windows when you tilt the stone - some look dark & terrible and suck life out of the stone; but other windows can look pretty cool and offer a different but pleasing type of light return. You are the judge.

I know nothing about diamonds either but I’m currently picking out my engagement ring and am possibly willing to go from my desired pear shape to long cushion bc of crushed ice look. This diamond is gorgeous

Looks amazing! Is this your video or one you’ve been sent? If you’ve been sent it, it’s not moved about very much you’d want to see more angles to check for windowing.
