Calling the Cushion Square H&A experts

I''m sure a number of you have either seen this stone in person, or have looked at it online. Based on the pictures I''ve seen on GOG, it looks very nice and I''ve placed a hold on it. When they take the measurements, are they along the diagonal (longer dimension) or along the side (shorter dimension)?

I''d like to put it in this setting:

What do you guys think? Is there anything I''m missing, some reason this beautiful stone is still available?

I appreciate any input.

Thanks,

Hi spoogenet

As I understand it, length and width measurements are taken edge to edge, not corner to corner, and depth is measured table(top facet on the face of the diamond) to culet(bottom point of the diamond).

looks like a nice stone!

Thanks, phew because the width being measured that way is just about perfect.

I''ve been looking at so many diamonds for so long I''m starting to get
