Help Finding Antique Styled Cushion

[little_olive4591]

Hi everyone!

I’ve been searching for quite a while for a natural antique-style elongated cushion, ideally over 4.5ct with a ratio of 1.3 or higher. I’m hoping to stay under $60k, but I’d be willing to go higher for a true dream stone. I’m also open to lower colored stones to help with budget, and I wouldn’t want to go lower than SI2 in clarity. Not into the super chunky facet look.

I’ve connected with a few jewelers already, including one I absolutely loved meeting with in late 2024, but I’m feeling a little hesitant/annoying about following up with a new budget and sourcing ask. I also really don’t want to offend anyone or have word get around that I’m shopping around too much. I want to be respectful of everyone’s time and relationships.

If anyone has leads, suggestions, or is a jeweler open to a quiet reach-out, I’d be so grateful. Based near NYC.

Thank you so much in advance!

Hi, welcome. Do you want real antique or modern cut diamond?

 

[maryjane04]

Can you please give some examples of stones with faceting that you like? I'm a bit confused as you're looking for an antique style cushion but not chunky facets.

Hi, welcome. Do you want real antique or modern cut diamond?

I'm pretty new to the search but I'd say a bit more modern, not into the August vintage look. Attached are inspo pics:

I think Alex Park has had some antique style cushions that might fit what you're looking for. He's also based in New York.

Yeah those are all modern and there aren't many antiques like those. Have you seen diamonds cut like this in person? They are usually shallow and sort of glassy looking.

I have! I don't mind the glassy look, but I haven't been able to find anything similar from any online vendors - just trying to compare pricing options

You have a very healthy budget so I would take my time looking.
There are lots of lab diamonds cut like this but not very many natural diamonds.
I think the market for this style is small so it might be more difficult to price. But I think Alex Park had a 4ct one that he posted a while ago.

Colour is really warm though:

And Jacob K had one too but again pretty warm:

Love both of these! I've had trouble getting in touch with Alex Park, but I'll follow up. Thank you for the suggestions!

SI2 clarity and maybe not quite the look you want but Jewels by Grace is coming to NYC in a couple of weeks and you might like this 4.12 I/SI2 (supposedly eye-clean and it seems plausibly true from the photos) for $65k:

4.12ct Old Mine Cut Diamond

One of the most requested shape from us - the chunky, elongated old mine cut! This particular one is just gorgeous with its higher color and 100% eye-clean in clarity. The diamond is bright, lively, and just beyond charming as it flashes colors with every movement. This diamond would be...

Jogani! But don’t buy the ruby protected by a million table/Peruzzi stones ring. That’s my “if I win the lottery” pointer finger ring

So gorgeous but it looks like their options are limited! Also the ruby is stunning I'm rooting for you

 

[maryjane04]

Also if you are wanting to look for something specific. Reaching out to people like Dolly, Rita on the rocks, or 88 star. They can help source you something that's not advertised online.

You need to call them and let them source what you want. That’s how this usually works.

Will do, thanks!

Try Clearcut, tell them what you're looking for. I have seen several antique cushion cuts posted there.

Ok, I have to confess… I wasn’t going to share this because I wanted to hoard it for myself.im not sure what it is about this ring, but its so beautiful someone should buy it and honestly it ticks all your boxes … it was eating away at me for not sharing this with you, so here you go. If you buy her, please post a million pictures so I can drool. Agh, I don’t want to post this…. But it’s the right thing to do so here I go… it’s like the most incredible delicate Victorian setting, and that stone… usually I go for a totally different flavor old mine, but for whatever reason, aghhhhhhhh I’m stalling. Ok, here she is.


Have you seen this one from Jogani?
The setting alone is tdf

Do not buy that ring off Poshmark - that’s not Jogani!!!! I am talking to them right now because I noticed the ruby isn’t in their site. Message Jogani through their website if you are interested in that ring.

@little_olive4591 I saw this today and immediately thought of you!

It’s an incredibly spready pink cushion … it’s very light pink, and 18% depth, so it will give you that watery see through look… so it may not look like pink on… but off, you should see a hint.

It’s GIA cert and at auction. Let me know if you want the link.

 

[little_olive4591]

Thanks for keeping me in mind! Would love to see the link

@little_olive4591, I hope you find the ring of your dreams. It doesn’t seem like that will be difficult to do with @lavenderdragonfly23 helping!

@lavenderdragonfly23, You are one of the reasons this place is so special. Have I told you lately that you are a wonderful person! If I ever win a one a big lottery you will get your ring.

Awww…. This is so nice, you made me tear up! Thank you

I like to think of myself as a small part of the delicious pie that makes up PS. There are some incredible people here, and I have learned so much… just paying it forward - and shopping for others keeps me from spending

But thank you..,. You made my Sunday!
