Oh and I plan to set it in Yellow gold...is colour less/more of an issue with that... Thanks di diane

The closest thing I can think of for guidance would be the AGA Cut Class chart for emerald cuts and radiant cuts at: http://www.gemappraisers.com/chrt3.htm Although not the perfect grid for cushion cuts, the three cuts do have a lot in common in what makes some better performers than others. Another tool you might consider using in your search would be the IdealScope. It's an excellent tool for helping the layperson eliminate poor performers. You can purchase one for $30 (including calibration CZ) through the menu at the top of your screen. Rich, Independent GG Appraiser Sarasota Gemological Laboratory

diane5006 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 641 Last Post: 10/11/2009 Member Since: 4/8/2003	Hi thanks for the response...I had looked at AGA but did not see cushions...but I will look again at the radiant specs. Cushions are hard to find...several e-tailers have them...and I did find a local jeweler (Boston) that had one and will get more for me to look at...I like the hands on approach... The one I looked at was 1.82 G SI1...I couldn't see any flaws with naked eye...nor with loupe...I am not good at it...I don't recall but I don't believe it had a GIA cert...and I have no other numbers on it... I am planning on doing lots more looking...both on the net and in person...and getting appraisals as needed... I have a decent budget to spend on the ring...so I am hopint to find 1.5-2 with >H color Any thought on where else to look for cushions thanks for your help di diane
