I think we need PICTURES!!!!

I''m only half kidding here...we really can''t tell you much esp. if it is an old ring without seeing pictures of what we''re talking about.

Yup, pics are a must. It may be great, who knows. But so far, I am not liking the sound of it. Very deep, and we have no other percentages....

Very deep and no percentages

The only number you provided is the depth, which is very deep. This means the diamond will face up smaller than it should. It also might mean that the cut is bad, but it might not, which is why we ned to see pictures.

There are other numbers that should be available on a grading certificate for the stone that tell us MORE about the cut, aka the other percentages she is asking for. But since this seems to be an antique stone based on the limited info you''ve provided, really good pictures are really what you need because you need to go with your eyes. There isn''t a formula for a good older cushion like there is with a modern round cut. Make sense?
