After thinking about and obsessing over setting options for my August Vintage Cushion for a year and a half, I finally have the ring of my dreams! Many thanks to all who have offered insight, suggestions, support and inspiration along the way. I am very, very grateful. 
Both Good Old Gold and Engagement Rings Direct were amazing to work with.
Jonathon at GOG was incredibly patient and helpful as I navigated the many options for my AVC. I've worked with him and his team for many years and they always exceed my expectations, both in service and quaity of stones. I fell in love with the AVC, then the AVR, which I'll create a separate thread for.
Mark at Engagement Rings Direct was a tireless companion on this journey, making himself available for my many questions and ideas, and instrumental in bringing my initially-fuzzy vision (which is reminiscent of the Tacori 262 to life. He was able to have French-cut trapezoids made for my side stones, which thrilled me out of my bling-addled mind. The workmanship on the ring is fantastic and ERD's price was unbeatable--literally. I can't say enough about Mark and the ERD team!
On to the specs and photos!
Center Stone
August Vintage Cushion
1.54 carats

Total depth: 67.53%
Table percentage: 51.82

I know my pictures are less than ideal. I'll try to capture better ones soon!
