My fiance and I are thrilled with how this ring turned out. We started out with a picture of a cushion cut milgrain bezel from Fred Leighton and ended up with our dream ring thanks to Pricescope and Chris from ERD.
After a month of looking at lackluster modern cushion cuts online and in stores, I stumbled across the Pricescope forum and learned all about vintage cushions. What an enormous difference that made! A number of you pointed me in the direction of a 2.67c "cut beyond" cushion at ERD which looked fantastic on video. After speaking with Chris on the phone, my girlfriend (now fiance) set up a time to visit New York and see it in person. We were blown away with the faceting and the sparkle in all lighting conditions.
With the diamond picked out, we set to designing our ring. Chris was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and responsive to me as I asked a lot of questions and went back and forth on a number of design features. After a few back and forths on the CAD designs, a plastic resin was made within the week and then the final ring was completed, shipped and in my hand within three days.
Overall a great process. Chris was fantastic to work with and created the perfect ring. I highly recommend him and ERD to everyone.
We also spoke with, and visited, Perry at LM who was great to work with as well.
And thanks to everyone at Pricescope for being so helpful and providing a such a great and educational forum.
The top picture is the ring we were working off of for our design.
Aside from a close up Chris took, we only have a camera phone so the pictures aren't that great but they will have to do.
Chris also filmed a video that is on youtube. The ring has a much more noticeable pink tint in real life than in the photos and video.
