Hi All,

So I am having a bit of a conundrum; I currently have the Ritani French Set Cushion shaped halo setting, with an OMC, and I want to upgrade the stone, if possible. I know this might be difficult since the halo can’t be altered. I wrote to GOG, and they suggested I send them the ring, and that way they can try different sizes close to my current diamond’s dimensions to try and find a fit. I would like an AVR or AVR, but there aren’t a lot of choices because of my size limitations. I was sent this list of options:

My diamond’s dimensions are: 5.48 x 5.15 x 3.37
.58 carats. H, I1.

0.72ct D SI1 = $3,831 http://www.goodoldgold.com/ecommerce/0-72ct-d-si1-august-vintage-cushion-diamond.html

0.71ct G SI2 = $2,817 http://www.goodoldgold.com/ecommerce/0-71ct-g-si2-august-vintage-cushion-diamond.html

0.71ct D VS1 = $4,633 http://www.goodoldgold.com/ecommerce/0-71ct-d-vs1-august-vintage-cushion-diamond.html

0.60ct D VS2 =$3,335 http://www.goodoldgold.com/ecommerce/0-6ct-d-vs2-august-vintage-round-diamond.html

0.70ct J VS1 = $2,300 http://www.goodoldgold.com/ecommerce/0-7ct-j-vs1-august-vintage-round-diamond.html

I am interested in the G SI2 AVC, but I just don’t know. I also saw this diamond, it’s not chunky, but very close my diamond’s specs:

I have read Gypsy’s tutorials when it comes to choosing a cushion, but I don’t feel confident in choosing a diamond with promise. Has anyone had success in switching about a diamond in a halo? I would like to stay at I color and above, eye clean. Any ideas? I’m open to a cushion or a round. Thanks in advance.

As long as you stitch to GOG's AV line or their signature modern line, don't fret about what I've said about cushions. Those are all winners and there's not a bad one in the bunch.

Best thing you can do is send your setting to GOG and they will be able to get back to you with stones that work best with it.

Then go from there.

Oh great! I do like that last one I listed (the modern version), even if it's not the chunkier model I typically like. Thanks, Gypsy. :angel:

Well you'd be hard pressed to find a better fit that the modern cushion. And it is a beautiful stone. So as long as your heart is not set on an antique cut, then you are very lucky!

Thanks for the feedback, diamondseeker. The ASET looked good, but it's not like I really know what exactly to look for!
