Does anyone have experience with the Mark "T" cushion?

FVierra27 · Jun 15, 2015

So I've purchased my e-ring and the anticipation is killing me. It's hard to purchase such a large item sight unseen. Obviously I've seen pictures on the site and youtube but what I am really looking for is a hand shot or something so I can get a more natural feel for the diamond. I tried searching but to no avail.

Has anyone physically seen them? What were your impressions?

Thanks for all the help!

Sorry I won't be much help, but maybe some other people will chime in soon. I haven't seen one in person, but the first thread has a video link and some opinions. You might find hand shots in the cushion threads or more input from posters, etc.

Thank you for taking the time to do that. I will go thru the posts to see if I can get any more information.

Without the wealth of knowledge here on PS I would have ended up with a terribly cut cushion, I'm sure of it. Chris from BE has been great. He showed me one of each style (xfactor, chandelier, and mark t). I chose the Mark T because it appealed most to my eyes from the online pictures. I just got my CAD drawings and should have it in a few weeks. Fingers crossed.

My pleasure! I am glad to contribute to PS in some small way. I don't have the knowledge to help very much in RT. However, I am starting to post when I can look for helpful threads or point people to the search functions. I actually found almost a dozen threads, but weeded out the ones that didn't seem specific to your question.

It sounds like things are moving forward in the right direction if you've already got CAD drawings! I'm sure waiting will be the hardest part! Hopefully you can post more info & photos on your stone when it arrives. I'm very excited for you and can't wait to see it!

I will definitely post pictures and my thoughts when it comes in!

Well I just gave the thumbs up on the cad drawings. What do you guys think?

Well the ring is in ! I picked it up this morning from FedEx. Chris from Brilliantly Engaged was wonderful throughout, very helpful. I think it is exactly what she had in mind but I won't know until September.

As for the Mark "T" cushion. I can't begin to explain how brilliant it is in the sun. It's just a fireball, but not in the crushed ice kind of way. I went and looked at many in local stores and wow this one just blows them away, seriously. Exactly what I was looking for, not vintage chunky but not crushed ice, it's perfect.

So glad that I had found this site. Without it, I would have gotten something that was just another cushion.
