I am currently searching for one from an online vendor (as I am in London).  If you search "cushion" in the search criteria you will find lots of threads on the cuts and they are VERY useful too.

IndiBlue:  Welcome to the often frustrating search for the perfect cushion!  As a fellow traveler, I hope I can help, even though I am no expert and have not yet managed to find my own stone!

First, you need to decide which kind of cushion you want.  Modern?  Antique?  H&A?  Some vendors tend to have certain cuts, so knowing this will help you narrow it down.

Second, try to find a vendor near you, or at least willing to provide you with lots of info.  I would say that it is nearly impossible to choose a cushion based on numbers alone...there are too many variables.  It is something that you really need to see with your own eyes -- unless you have a trusted expert (appraiser) who can be your eyes.

This should get you started on your quest:

For modern cushions:

http://www.whiteflash.com/diamonds/loose-diamonds.aspx
 -- I have been working with Denise, who is awesome.  They have some older stones available to them as well, but most seem to be modern cuts.

http://www.engagementringsdirect.com -- Mark is a modern cushion miracle worker (say that 3x fast!). There are several PSers with gorgeous stones from him, and he is very fast.

http://www.goodoldgold.com/ -- They have the amazing H&A cushions, as well as some others, and they provide TONS of info.


For older stones:

http://www.estatediamondjewelry.com/ -- They seem to have some amazing stones (already mounted), but mostly in the larger ranges.  I have emailed them and gotten very helpful replies.  Plus, they seem willing to sell stones separately.

http://www.nelsonraritiesrings.com/gallery.html -- Well-respected.  They have a lot more than is listed on the web.  If you email them, they will send you pictures of the ring inventory.

http://newyorkestatejewelry.com/index.cfm -- Seem to have some nice pieces (already mounted), but I don't know much else.

http://www.faycullen.com/index.html -- They have many mounted stones and lists of available loose stones.  Colors all seem low to me, though, and the info on the loose stones is really sketchy.  Emailing/calling might get better results.


Hope this Helps!
