Can anyone tell me where I can find the specifics on what I need to look for in a cushion cut?

There is NO such thing as "specifics" for a cishion cut "diamond".

There are loads of different faceting types and loads of different shapes...., and every shapes command a different faceting arrangement.

Look at your picture for example, it is also a cushion shape, the "Ashoka" by William Goldberg, it has nothing close as far as faceting combination from any usuall cushion shape out there...

I have been searching for a cushion or Old MIne Cut fr the last few months. I am NO EXPERT whatsoever. But , after reading this site for the last few months, I think that with a cushion, you just have to go with what you see and like. I like chunky facets, a huge culet and these apparently are not desireable as far as grading....you can find an awesome diamond with a 55% depth or a 75 % depth...my point is, i think you have to go with the one that "talks to you".....that wa sthe most important to me...I tried not to focus on the "specs" because if my eyes love it...that is all I care about...GREAT LUCK! i saw lots of pretty cushions ou there, but ultimately with with an OMC!
