Hey there! I started a thread on faceting patterns of cushions with pics of the diamonds. I believe the first cushion brilliant with 8 pavillion mains is the antique style/look. You can find it here:

There is also a link on this thread to another PS''s thread with the same info.
I hope this helps you out!

I'd check boston jeff's cushion thread..there are a bunch of plots/diamgrams and it does seem that they don't mean much when it come's to cushions but bostonjeff wanted a newly cut antique cushion and you can see what his search criteria was..

Oh, mrssalvo, I pity the posters that get pointed in the direction of that thread... what a monster...
Nah I think your thread is awesome!! I wish there was someone like me for me when I got here a year ago LOL A few posters had started paving the way for the modern cushions but no one really was for this type... I''m very glad that your thread happened... its a lot of info.Date: 6/29/2007 8:36:24 PM

Thanks everyone for the input. I should have known that opening that can of ''cushion '' worms would be tricky,but just thought that there might be a guideline for antique cushion faceting. The 8 pavillion mains seems to be a good starting point so I''ll go from there.
I don''t suppose that anyone is privy to the Cartier Antique Cushion faceting pattern. I''d love to see one in person as the pics are so gorgeous
I haven't heard of a cartier antique cushion either, but I did find this link with pics in another forum (I know, I know, what was I doing on another forum!!?): http://www.betterthandiamond.com/discussion/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/148609/an/0/page/0#148609Date: 6/30/2007 1:38:01 AM

Hmmm, I think they do exist in the real diamond realm but this was the only pic I found and it just happened to be a sim. Actually, they MUST exist because it''s called a Cartier cushion, and I don''t think the name Cartier would be attached to something that is a simulated diamond??Date: 6/30/2007 7:28:21 PM

Thanks blingergrrrl. It only exists in the non-diamond realm?
I had seen a picture somewhere of what was called an antique Cartier cushion. I guess that wasn''t a diamond either, but the picture there looked so much better than the one you posted.
Probably...., An Antique "Cartier" Cushion Ring?!?!...Date: 6/30/2007 10:42:55 PM

That''s what I thought too but then I got search engine hits on "Cartier Cushion" (just the stone)...I thought maybe it was like the Tiffany''s Lucida cut?Date: 7/1/2007 12:25:43 AM
