I think it''s the cut on them, but I heavily ditto this. I really LOVE those .96ers. Good luck on your choice. Your stone looks gorjamoussessse too.Date: 6/26/2008 7:46:26 PM

WOW! That cushion is stunning. There is something about the .96 pears that I am drawn to but really any of those sidestone will look fantastic! Can''t wait to see the finished product!
I was going to say that. I personally like the smaller sides because I think they highlight the cushion more. And that is one fabulous cushion!Date: 6/26/2008 7:51:57 PM

Thanks for your reply, jarbatz! I agree, I''m drawn to the 0.96 ct combo the most too, but I can''t tell if I''m just being swayed by the lighting in the picture. It''s hard to focus on the proportions alone, you know?!? I wonder if the 0.80 ct combo might be a more delicate look...
Ditto this exactly. ESPECIALLY since I''ve seen the cushion on your hand. You teensy fingered minx! The proportions of the smaller pair "work" more for me. I *do* wonder if its just the picture of the .96s being better, cuz I''m drawn to the look of them too.Date: 6/27/2008 12:41:14 PM

I like the cut of the .96s, but I like the ratio of sides to center on the smaller stones, that combo makes your center stone pop way more. The .96 pears look less crushed icey and more chunky facets and that''s what I like about that pair. Can you ask him to look for a smaller pair but with chunkier faceting?
My thoughts exactly too. I really prefer smaller side stones, but in this case the larger seem to have a much nicer cut. Wonder why the pictures aren''t all of the same quality though! Your lovely cushion looks so different in each. Definitely ask Leon for his opinion; he certainly has a knack for choosing side stones.Date: 6/27/2008 12:41:14 PM
