-- i''m now trying to settle on the setting -- before buying the cushion, i was looking at princess cuts and wanted two trillion side stones (or maybe pears) -- now i''m wondering since i have the cushion, is that a normal setting tohave (i.e., cushion with trillions?) -- i''ve noticed a lot of people have the cushion with more of a michael b type design or solitaire setting --- any thoughts would be appreciated ! thanks ;-) everyone has been great on this site -- especially david atlas !! thanks again

 thanks !!

forgive me for being so blunt i am a frustrated wanna-be jewelry designer.........
cushions have this really antique-y look whether they are modern cushions or actually old stones--the shape, the rounded corners. the trillions are very contemporary, sharp little glittery triangles and have that intense crushed ice sparkle...........in other words too much going on.... i believe cushions should stand alone.............or be flanked by something that sets them off, and doesn''t compete with them... a split shank....the band of the ring splits right about where it rises to where a side stone would be into a "Y"--the width of the "V" can vary of course but it is often seen pave''d with little diamonds |

no problem ;-)
split shank sounds like the "britney spears" engagement ring ? i think she got a cushion cut (of course way bigger !!) --- i saw a cushion and trillion and i like the way it looks across the finger ?? weird ?? i''m going to meet with the jeweler and see how trillions look (true trillions, not triangles) -- thanks for your thoughts -- do you have a cushion ?? if so, do you have a picture of your ring ?? thanks !!! |

Hello,
Post pictures of your diamond if you have any! I'd love to see it! I think trillions could be pretty. I also really like pear sidestones with a cushion center stone. I think rounded sidestones, like pears, or cushions, would make the best sidestones. Sheilds are pretty too (see below -- are these the same as trillians?) My favorite setting with a cushion is pave -- like WS suggested. Good luck picking a setting, and be sure to post pics!

hi -- i really like that first one you posted -- where did you see that ?? is it posted somewhere ?? the side stones look like trillions (basically from what i understand, trillions are like triangles, but are a little "rounded" -- that''s why the jeweler said they would look good with the cushion -- rather than the triangle which would probably go better with the princess !
my ring is at the jewelers --- i''ll post when i get it ;-) thanks again -- any thoughts on whether the side stones need to be the same quality as the center stone ? my center is F color and i didn''t know whether i could go with a G instead ? the jeweler is of course saying "oh my god -- no way !!) -- hee hee ~~thanks |

im embarrassed that i know this, but the first ring is from dahneandweinstein.com. they have lots and lots of cushion rings there so it's a good place to look for ideas. i'd also check out artofplatinum.com.
for the record i sort of agree with windowshopper--i think pear sides or half moon sides would be more complimentary to your cushion than trillions. also i personally would not be at all concerned about putting G sidestones with an F stone. good luck--can't wait to see what you end up with! |

interesting thought -- i was thinking i like the first picture with the double prong on the center stone -- smaller trillion (which in my opinion, if "bowed" look very similar to the ones shown -- and then maybe a thinker shank with some pave (like the cartier) ? i don''t know ---
my other question is what type of wedding band do you use with that type of ring ? i thought maybe a very feminine, thin eternity band with pave ?? i guess with more of the cartier style, you possibly don''t need a band -- but my boyfriend would like me to have one thoughts ?? thanks !!!
