After some great help from the people on this forum I am much more educated on cushions, thank you all! Well me and my SO went shopping this weekend for rings and mounts and after looking at countless diamonds etc I flashed a pic of a vintage cut cushion and explained how they were a little more special than the ones we were looking at. (I don't believe there are any dealers with vintage cushions in stock in Colorado) she fell in love with it. I like the look myself as well.
My budget is 30K, I could go up a few thousand if there was a real compelling need but would rather stay at or below. Here are a couple I have found and have been suggested.
The diamonds we were looking at were 3CT which I know I'm not going to get an AVC in my price range, but like most woman she likes big, so my main concern is how big will these "face up" on a single halo type setting.
Here is what I have found:

And this one is obviously pretty yellow but I'm wondering how it would look in a filigree mount. Prob not the right color but I'll throw it out there.

If there are any other vintage cushions I'm missing maybe not from a "designer cut" please throw them out there.
Thank you for all of your help in my search for her special ring.
