It is a great looking stone! Since you bought it, you must love it, and then it must be beautiful!

Hi Everyone!

Thanks for all the great feedback! I just home back from the B&M, dropped off my stone to have it set and I won''t see it for a few weeks... Really can''t wait to get it back, it is terrible to have to part with my stone... Anyways, here are the specs:

Shape: Modified Brilliant Cushion
Weight: 1.58
Color: E
Clarity: VVS2
Cert: GIA
Measurements: 7.21x6.06x4.34mm
Depth: 71.6%
Table: 61%

I know it may seem to be pretty deep, but I think the large depth is due to the rectangular shape... If you take th average of the two sides and divide it by the height, the depth should be 65%. I love the cut, the bottom has many more facets than other cushions that I''ve seen, I think that''s why it sparkles like crazy

Any comments are welcome!

Going to have it set in a Micro Pave band, simple four prong setting... wanted a simple setting to accentuate the diamond

[lumpkin]

Is it going to be a halo setting? Gosh that''s a gorgeous cushion!

 

[Patty]

Wow, what a beautiful stone!

And what are you talking about..."It''s not a big stone."

It''s a big gorgeous stone!!!

 

[rockaholic]

No, not a halo... I was going to set it in a halo, that was my first choice, but fell in love with a simple 4 prong that I found, so decided to go with that instead

The size of the stone is right for me I think, because I have small fingers (size 3)...

By the way, is a 61% table ok for a cushion. I''ve read a lot about tables for RB, but not sure if the same guidelines apply to cushions...

Thanks!

you have to judge each stone individually...and a 61 table sure as heck works with this beauty! Forget about the numbers...and btw, just b/c you may think the depth is high as a number, it still has a good spread...stones can hide weight in a lot of places, and that looks like a nice large stone!!! And size 3? I "hate" you!!

 

[Kaleigh]

Size 3, oh good lord!!!! Yeah forget about the numbers and trust your eyes. A four pronged setting sounds simply delish!!!! You lucky girl!!!!
