Best Cushion Cut for $25,000: 2.51 Carat F Color VS2 Clarity GIA Certified

I love these days when I begin a new series of daily diamond recommendations!  Having just completed our series of the best Hearts & Arrows Ideal Cut diamonds for various budgets, today we begin a new series:  the best Cushion Cut available for various budgets. We will begin with a $25000 Budget, and slowly make our way down to a $2000 Budget.

I had a tough choice choosing the opening diamond for this series.  There was an attractive 3.02 carat G SI2 cushion cut available on James Allen, but I was concerned about the SI2 and whether or not it would be eye-clean.  There were a few other nice looking stones in this price range and size as well.

But when I laid my eyes on today’s final pick, I fell in love immediately. Sometimes, you don’t need to say a lot about a diamond and just let it speak for itself.  Today is one of those days.

Now I know, I don’t recommend buying stones with Medium Blue Fluorescence combined with an F color, but this stone just looked too nice to pass on.  The odds are still that the fluorescence won’t have any visual effects on the diamond, but just to be sure, you should contact James Allen’s customer support to have their gemologists verify this with a face-to-face inspection.
