I'm so excited to finally get to share my new ring here! First, we are indebted to this community for pushing us through bling college in a short 6 months. Whether it was the questions asked by other novices that we never would have thought to ask, or the sage advice of Charmy, Rhino, Dreamer and scores of others, we evolved from clueless to discerning rather quickly. There might be a monster in the making! Like many others out there, we looked at literally hundreds of cushions, even making near disaster purchases, before finding a lovely stone. For other newcomers, when the advisers say that you can't read a cushion by the numbers, we're can attest to that! I love the community of AVC lovers out there, and hopefully I'll join you someday, but for our e-ring, we found a (perfect to us) cushion brilliant 4-main. I liked the thin 8-mains too, but none we found in our range compared to the 4-main we fell for. For the setting, I've never been more inspired by a ring than when I saw Haven's creation. That ring gave me the courage to think outside the box, so thank you, Haven. I also loved Rock of Love, Reggies JM and DC 87s milgrained bezel. We presented so many ideas to our artist, the amazing Dana Walden Chin of Dana Walden Jewelry, and Dana and his wife Radika were able prioritize our wish list so that I was not frankensteining a ring but making something balanced and beautiful, hand to stone. The .27 AVRs that we purchased from GOG just didn't work as sides to this particular main stone (despite my really really wanting those gorgeous little gems) and I appreciate Dana and Rad's artistic vision. I don't see their custom work here on PS but I highly recommend them. So without further delay, we present Lulu.

specs:
1.51 H VVS2 cushion brilliant
GIA triple x; no flour 6.89x6.68

I LOVE Lulu! So sparkly and fiery. Enjoy!
 
Beautiful!
The gold setting is wonderful - i forget how fresh it can look with such a white stone.
 
Congrats, the ornate work on the sides of the ring is really beautiful.
 
Your ring is so pretty! I love how delicate the setting looks holding that beautiful white stone!
 
Lovely setting!! I'd love a better view of your diamond. What a beauty!

Lovely setting for Lulu. A very pretty cushion.
 
Very neat setting.
 
Gorgeous!
 
VERY cool!
 
Thank you, Pix. I can't stop looking at her!
 
Diamondseeker, I appreciate you weighing in! I've gained so much for your input here on the forum. Thank you!
 
Thank you, Dorothea. I'm feeling like the ring is a bit loose but I'm wondering if I should wait til the summer heat sets in and see how it fits at that time. It's a 5.5. The 5 just felt too tight.
 
It's beautiful!!!!!
 
Great choices...Lulu is gorgeous! Love your setting too.
 
Thanks, Ariel. It was inspired by a vintage ring with a funky OEC that I saw at an online vendor. I really loved the old cut in the funky basket setting, but the ring had been sold. I like it with the new cushion, too. Mostly, I really adore the guy who slipped it on my finger! woohooo!
 
What a beautiful stone and a lovely setting! Enjoy it! :love:
 
this is amazing!!!
 
What an amazing ring. Your cushion really sparkles and the delicate setting looks like a crown for an elegant princess. Enjoy wearing your beautiful ring!
