Hi Experts, I was hoping to get some input on the following information - thanks! I am trying to buy a 1ct (or bigger!) cushion cut diamond for an engagement ring. I have been looking for a stone with color at or above H, Clarity at or above VS2 and Cut at or above good. I would like the stone to be certified. I have been looking at ADOL and UScert online and have found stones between 1900-3000 dollars. What other things should i be looking for in a Cushion cut diamond? Does anyone have any suggestions for stones? Suggestions for other places to look? I have just finished graduate school so price really is important. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, Thanks for your time!

I would call Mark at Engagement Rings Direct. He knows his cushions and is a great vendor to work with. Cushions really need to be judged with your eyes...or those of a trusted vendor and Mark is certainly that.

To be honest, I think a nice cushion over 1 ct and with the specs you put above will cost over $3000. I suspect the ones you found could be poorly cut or perhaps a cushion modified brillant that is usually priced a little lower (they also have a crushed ice look that many do not like). You may consider dropping to an eye clean SI1.

Thanks Charmypoo, I hadnt even realised that there was such a thing as a cushion brilliant! Thanks very much for the advice. I think you are right, the specs seem a little difficult to fulfil for the price, appreciate the advice.

Ditto the ladies with contacting Mark at EDR, see what he can find for you!
 Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn |
