Help! Cushion Cut Question

[toothfairy]

Hi, I have tried searching the msg boards but am not able to find a certain website. There is a website that some people were writing about for cushion cut diamonds. Apparenty on that site, you can type in the Length to Width ratio and the site will show a diagram of the diamond and you can see if it looks "squarish" or "rectangular-ish." Does anyone know what that site address is? I have been searching for SOOOOOOOOOO long and would appreciate help!! Thanks in advance!

Also, is there a table or site with somewhat ideal measurements for Cushion cuts?

I dont know which site you are trying to get, but a diamond that is based on a squarish outline will be considered a square up to to 1:1.049 (L to w ratio.)
Above that it is considered elongated.

Up to today, i have no information on ''ideal'' measurements for Cushion cuts....

www.gemappraisers.com has it.... more specifically: http://www.gemappraisers.com/shapePickerNew.asp

click on the oval in the center and give it some "bulge".... unfortunately it doesn't seem to be working at the moment.

DG is right - 1:1 to 1.05:1 is square.... IMO the most classic cushion ratio is about 1.15:1 and my stone is 1.26:1.
