designchica Cut Rock Total Posts: 260 Last Post: 6/4/2008 Member Since: 5/30/2007	The diamond we are looking at is 1.92ct brilliant cushion w/ a ratio of 1.15 so it is more rectangle than square but not as rectangle as an emerald perhaps. These are the two settings I like but I am worried about how they are going to look with that diamond. Feedback much appreciated! :) 1: http://www.richardlandi.com/enlarged/popup_lol2_4.html or 2: http://www.goodoldgold.com/setting/RL-1834/

Addy Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,915 Last Post: 11/18/2009 Member Since: 10/20/2007	Which way with you be setting it? With the first setting you posted you may not be able to wearing a wedding band (or size, of course) because of the pave. But I like it the best. The second one feels a bit too busy to me with the miligrain, the engraving, the triple prongs, and the taper.

sera Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,086 Last Post: 5/22/2008 Member Since: 6/28/2007	I love the first one! I had considered that one early in my search and really like it. I have tried on some similar to the second and just didn't like it... I'm not sure why... I thought I would like it and it would make my diamond look bigger... just didn't like it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ May you live all the days of your life. -Swift

I tried one on w/ a round brilliant and loved it but I am am not sure how I would feel about the setting with a rectangular cushion. Makes me nervous. Its one of those things that I feel like I will either love or hate.

Its one of those things that I feel like I will either love or hate. No idea... I had tried it on with a square shape placed over the cz in it at least once and it seems I tried on a couple others without a square shape (can't recall if I tried it with a RB). If you already know you love it for a RB (it is a pretty setting), I would definitely try something similar on before committing just to make sure you like it for the cushion because I'm thinking it would look very different. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ May you live all the days of your life. -Swift

EricaR Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,108 Last Post: 11/17/2009 Member Since: 12/4/2007	Yet another vote for #1. I love how it showcases the stone but at the same time has the pave that says LOOK AT ME!

designchica Cut Rock Total Posts: 260 Last Post: 6/4/2008 Member Since: 5/30/2007	Here's the downside to setting #1: It so expensive that if I get it, it will probably mean getting a smaller diamond. So I will have to give this more thought. It is definitely beuatiful...but a smaller diamond? That's a tough one.

My boyfriend is trying to encourage me to pick a setting through Good Old Gold though because he has found them far more helpful than ERD and plans to buy the diamond through GOG. He feels like it will be easier to have the setting and the stone from the same place. He is not opposed to getting the setting elsewhere, but he has emphasized that if I can find one through GOG, that will make things smoother.

decodelighted Ideal Rock Total Posts: 8,625 Last Post: 11/16/2009 Member Since: 7/27/2005	I like the LOOK of #1 .. but I really worry that it won't look right next to a wedding band -- or that the three-sided rounded pave would scratch up a band. What about this one? Richard Landi #1934 -- flat sides (no scratchy!) Would look AMAZING with a cushion, they just work so well with curved split shanks.

I will take a closer look at that one. As far as the wedding band goes, I am not worried about it. My boyfriend and I have talked about it, and I don't think I am going to wear a wedding band with my ring. I am going to wear one on the right hand instead and then we we travel, I am going to leave the e-ring at home and wear the band instead. We are not really into tradition so the wedding band thing is not a big deal to us.

In your case though I might even love a split shank ring MORE -- it kinda has the two ring look but isn't ... think it would also mimic & flatter the unique curves of a cushion. Off to find Mrssalvo's photos!
