This is accepted as a standard cushion brilliant. If you 'modify' this facet arrangement, say by adding additional facets around the pavilion or straying from the standard 8 bezel crown faceting style (as in the diagram you posted) you have a cushion 'modified' brilliant.

decker12 Rough Rock Total Posts: 6 Last Post: 11/2/2008 Member Since: 11/2/2008	Hi sonomacounty The stone is a: 2.23 Cushion Modified Brilliant Fancy Yellow VS1 Polish - Excellent Symmetry - Very good Fluorescence - None Slightly thick girdle Extremely thick (faceted) 70% table 58% depth In your opinion does this particular cut "always" give the glassy look? If so, what would be the advantages for the diamond to be cut with this pattern? The stone seemed to have beautiful color.

Somehow I remember that diagram in association with the crushed ice look. Anyone? Also, what do you all think of the 70 percent table?

decker12 Rough Rock Total Posts: 6 Last Post: 11/2/2008 Member Since: 11/2/2008	Thanks again for the response. I am anxious to hear what other's think as well. Based on the stone's GIA report, what do you think would be a fair price or value of this stone?
