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!
