You know DG that is a very interesting point.... its modified - but modified HOW? Hmm..... and I''ve only seen that one plot for modifieds.... but cushion brilliants have two distinctive plots and produce two very distinctive looks - and share a name. And yet old mine brilliants and SOME cushion brilliants can be almost indistinguishable. It has split mains on the crown and pavillion..., it has four extra triangular facets on each one of the four main pavilions near the girdle, and its culet is divided by eight more facets going all the way up to the first step facet junction...

Check out the Pav and Crown on this baby..., and yes... according to the GIA... it would be called a modified too!!!! Alltough it was cut in the late 1800''s!!!

yeah, cushions make no sense at all LOL And yet the pursuit of illumination drives me forward! I wish some of the attributes had names... or if they do, I knew what they were. There''s a name for just about every feature and quality in a round...
... and suddenly I am gripped with this fear that cushions will be overtaken and perfected and will lose all of their uniqueness and artistry... which I totally do not want. But it would be wonderful to be able to have these discussions about them with some common terms like... many of the cushions you''ve done have 8 uniform pavillions, whether the stone is square or elongated and I still prefer that look even in an elongated stone (like that maxmillion diamond) but some of these diamonds are cut on a long axis and have a slight bit of an emerald cut character to them which I didn''t like at first but have come to love in my stone and appreciate in others. And as of this thread I''ve seen that quality in a relatively (to the axis) square stone. I dont think it is posible with all the different varieties...., one thing for sure... I would not want it to happen!
What I would be interested in seeing would be a stone that is elongated and has an OMC pattern with the 4 corner facets thinner than the 4 side facets, but the two sets of side facets the same size even though the stone is elongated... it would shift the corner a bit to the longer side... hmmm... I don''t know if that would look good, but I DO think it looks good to shift the corner facets off when all 8 pav mains are uniform diameter.
