LyBug Rough Rock Total Posts: 27 Last Post: 9/20/2006 Member Since: 8/28/2006	Hey everyone! I'm more of a lurker than a poster, but I'm in need of some help! I'm getting engaged pretty soon, and my soon-to-be fiance and I are looking for rings. My sister sent me this pic (see below) and I fell in love, but have no idea what this cut is! She's on vacation in Thailand and I have no way to reach her for the next three weeks, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Be sure to take some time to read through the forums on PS - there is a wealth of information that will help you make the most informed decision you can. In regards to the ring you posted, the center stone looks like a princess cut, and the 2 side stones are trillion cut. Hope this helps! -David

davidgelb Rough Rock Total Posts: 89 Last Post: 8/14/2007 Member Since: 7/28/2006	Julie, what is the difference between the spring cut and the princess? Being a square cut, it looks to me like a princess cut, but I am probably incorrect! -David {:wavey:]

LyBug Rough Rock Total Posts: 27 Last Post: 9/20/2006 Member Since: 8/28/2006	In the picture I have (which looks better than the one posted) it looks more emerald-cut-ish than princess cut, since the shape is more elongated than a princess cut. But it's definitely not an emerald cut.

Not an exact match for what you posted but close. www.Solomonbrothers.com sells Daussi check out what they have and see what you think. HTH

LyBug Rough Rock Total Posts: 27 Last Post: 9/20/2006 Member Since: 8/28/2006	I may have found something similar, but my computer won't let me post the pictures. They describe it as an antique cushion cut. Does that make any sense? Sorry to be a pain, but I'm a dud when it comes to diamonds.

LyBug Rough Rock Total Posts: 27 Last Post: 9/20/2006 Member Since: 8/28/2006	I just received an email from my sister, and the diamond is a spring cut. I need to look into this cut because I've never heard of it before and I really, really love this ring! Any ideas?

JulieN Ideal Rock Total Posts: 7,150 Last Post: 11/25/2009 Member Since: 7/25/2005	http://www.springcut.com/content/index.html It's supposed to be nice, developed with Ideal Scope, a lot of buzz when it first came out, but manufacturing difficulties years ago resulted in low distribution. Well, that's from what I can gather, anyway.

Ellen Ideal Rock Total Posts: 22,894 Last Post: 11/6/2009 Member Since: 1/13/2006	Is that the same thing as a Tycoon, or different? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds." -Murray N. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880 "There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things.... The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

Rod Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,260 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 12/28/2005	I believe Julie's absolutely right about the cut. And if you look at the link she provided, you'll note that they cut them in Emerald and square cuts. "Got Diamond? Hey.....Men Wear Diamonds Too!"
