GIRRRRRL! You did it up RIGHT! NOW THAT IS AN E-RING! If I saw you walking down the street I would be like DAMN! My Grandma

left me one like that. The GIA graded it at K but that booger was stone cold white!

I have a 1.76 E color princess cut and my Granny's looks just as white. It is BIGGER too like yours. HEY! I prefer to wear my Granny's because I get the compliments....I don't get much on the old princess cut. Probably because it is not that big...it blends in.

Snooper, I love the look of the double prongs and originally wanted them for my solitare. However, Leon recommended the single and that is what I went with. I think the double complements your cushion cut. I am hoping in the future I can purchase a cushion cut colored gem and have it set with double prongs like yours. Your rings are beautiful. Wear them in good health.

Not sure if I mentioned this, but I love that ring! And the color, the warmth, are perfect for an antique cushion!

Hi, I recently joined today and wanted to express my thanks for such a great website! I am a newly added LIW and longtime lurker. No proposal yet, but I know (roughly) what I am getting...a solitaire cushion with double prongs. I think both single and double prongs look fabulous, and I didn''t even know double prongs existed before my bf mentioned the idea...well i immediately searched here and found wonderful examples. I am in love with the look!

I read that you were "too busy" but wondered if you could post some FULL finger shots? I am DYING to see what a ring of this size looks like on your fingers (are they shorter..longer?) Not much/Lots of space between the knuckles? Some can get away with stacking and wearing wider bands with more space between the knuckle, and the base of the finger. Just curious! Thanks

Yeah, my parents are flying in next week, so I have been preparing for their arrival. But I sold about 7 diamond bands, as I just don't stack since I have shorter fingers. I don't have big knuckles just short fingers.

EDIT: All my bands are 2mm or less, so I haven't even tried thicker bands. I did put my cartier rolling ring on with my ER before and that worked (mm wise) but too much for me. Nice staking in your avatar.

The only stacking I'd do is my avatar. I don't want scratches on my shanks.

Futuremrss: NO MORE buying diamonds. I wanna get a gemstone next

Yeah I like both double and single claws too. The double always remind me of Winston :) Welcome to PS!

Thank you Snooper! Glad to be here. Winston (Harry I assume ?

) style is right up my alley! And what sold me on the claw prongs is that they give just a touch of room for the pillow details of a cushion to peek out. So cute!

Snooper I love your ring, I used to lurk at the other forum you used to post and always admired your jewelry. Where did you get that beautiful brown diamond?

I remember oogling & drooling over that baby when Erica & Grace had it for sale loose; so you''re the lucky one! It is so incredibly gorgeous, those sun shots are spectacular. It''s just *got* to be whiter than K. Even from the side it''s just barely warm; just enough to have that yummy antique look. I love the ''maltese cross'' thing it does in the center... well, and then there''s that Leon solitaire setting you''ve got it in... perfect! I adore it! While the princess may be bigger (and gorgeous too, of course), if I were you, I think I''d have a tough time ever peeling the new cushion off my finger

Thanks :) I don't know the rules on PS about mentioning certain names, but it's not from the vendor you might think it's from.

Yeah, the maltese cross thing is sorta cool. What I liked is how it had that, oh what''s it called ... kozibe effect or something (the culet reflecting or something.

I didn''t think it was since you said it was custom cut for you. I can''t wait to see the finished product on that one!

Hey Snooper. Do you think you could e-mail me? I''m considering buying a cushion from Grace, and wanted to get some insight into your experience with them. It would be very much appreciated! :) Thanks!

Happy birthday! Your new diamond is big and chunky -- and the perfect color for that size antique cushion. It must look amazing in candle light. Oh, and I love the low solitaire setting you put it in. It''s a big diamond, but you didn''t try and make it even bigger by smothering it in halo''s and paved split bands. Instead, the low, simple setting with delicately curved prongs cradling the diamond looks refined and understated! In fact, it looks so tasteful (and I''m the *strange* PS-er who actually prefers diamonds under 1.5 carats) that I could see me wearing your ring!

I just had to add -- I agree wholeheartedly with the person above who said that even though the princess/trillion ring is bigger, she would have trouble peeling off the cushion! Me too! Not that I have anything bad to say about the princess cut ring, but the only compliment I can think of for it is that it''s big. On the other hand, your cushion solitaire in the delicate double claw setting is on my extraordinary list!!
