It looks nice, is it the type of cushion you are looking for and who is selling it? Also do you have any more photos?

Mark from ERD picked it out for me.

What are the types of cushion? modern vs brilliant?

I thought it might be one of Marks, he picks great cushions!

There are different types of cushion and much of it is personal taste, I like this thread for further info.

Hard to tell the exact differences on there, but I think I like the Cushion brilliants the best and this one is a cushion brilliant according to the gia cert.

Maybe I can get mark to send more photos

This one has a very different look than many cushion brilliants, so you really can''t generalize based on the name alone. Just make sure you see enough pictures of cushions to know what kind of look you like the best.

That being said, it looks like it will be a beautiful stone.

It''s a bit busy for my personal taste, but I like cushoions super chunky. You should go by your own taste with cushions since there isn''t a perfect formula for selecting them. Table is a tad large.

Here''s another pic. Thoughts please!

Still really nice cushion! At this point it just depends on your personal preferences. Should be a great performer though.

thanks for the comments, friends

I have been considering setting it with more delicate prongs, or even split prongs. any suggestions for that on a rock of this size? thanks!

Personally I love delicate split prongs!

Here''s a 2nd stone Mark picked out for me. I asked to see one that was more rectangular. what do you guys think?

That one has a very ''crushed ice'' appearance. If that is what you like, then it is very nice. I personally like larger facets

I really like the way this one turned out:

But i'm not sure how mine will look compared to that one.

That one is a cushion brilliant and has the larger facets. There are certain cushion modified brilliants that have plots with larger facets, but the most common ones have the crushed ice appearance. I found this thread very very helpful when looking for my cushion.
