I'm looking for an chunky/antique cushion cut diamond between 1.4 - 1.9 carats. I'm hoping to work with LM or SK for the setting. I'm inspired by CharmyPoo and Treenbean to name a few PSers.
What are my options in terms of sourcing my own stone? Which vendors would you recommend? I've found a few on James Allen that might work. I also love GOGs August Vintage cuts but I believe that I read that LM doesn't set them anymore. Are they worth the price? Will SK work with an AVC?
Will I find any antique cushions from Bluenile or WF?
Any thoughts on LMs True Antique cushion cut?
I'd like to stay with F color and below. Clarity doesn't matter too much as long as it is eye clean. I'm okay with slightly elongated, up to around 1.10.
Are there any other features I should be considering? Culet? Girdle? Depth? etc.?
