After much anticipation, I finally got my cushion ring and my three-sided pave setting. I love it. I kept staring at all morning. I have been anxious for so long that I thought I wouldn't be surprised, he totally tricked me. I can't believe it. To show how off guard I was, I accepted in my pjs with wet hair. I had just gotten out the shower, but that didn't stop him for having me do a scavenger hunt with clues, which led me to him, on bended knee in our bedroom. I have to say what all the other ladies have, at that moment, you forget all those restless nights, the hours of waiting, the agony and its just pure joy. I was just tears, but managed to say yes while putting out the wrong hand. Silly me. It's such a surreal moment. I will cherish forever. It happened at like 11:30pm on the 23rd. It was great. I didn't call anyone until the next morning, so we had the evening together with our secret. I owe this beautiful ring to Mark T at engagement rings direct.

So, without further adieu,

Stats:

2.14 carat Old Mine Brilliant
E color
SI1 (eye clean) I didn't notice a thing
Depth 68.3%
Table 52%

It had a slightly large culet, but Mark had it recut to make it smaller. Here is a link to his review. https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/great-jeweler-helped-tremendously-mark-turnowski.23045/

Oh my, that ring is stunning! Is it an old mine cut or a cushion? Are old mine cuts considered cushions? No matter what it is, it''s simply gorgeous. I love the getting engaged in your jammies and with wet hair too.

The ring is so very nice, it is hard to decide what to admire more - the diamond, the design, the work... Awesome!

Where is the setting from ?

Thanks so much ladies for the compliments. He did a great job, but I think Mark was excellent in helping him find just the right stone. I was shocked the color is so high, because the diamonds in the pave are E/F,so anything in the G or H range, looked yellowish in the setting. I am glad for that, though not being a color snob it looks the same.

Patty, I think it is a cushion, though the GIA report says its description as Old Mine Brillant - not sure - may have to consult the experts on that

Valeria101, actually Mark''s jeweler made the setting. It''s obviously inspired by the Michael B, with just the additions of the split prongs. It was cheaper than having bought the branded setting, and you get to control the stone type I suppose. It sparkles like no other, the stones in the setting are amazing.

Reena, I will try to get some more close ups for you.

It sure is beautiful! I could tell it was a very white stone right away!
Don''t quote me on this, but I believe that old mine cuts are ref''d to as cushions! It''s the true, real deal antique cushion! :)

It sure does look like a cushion so actually I figured it was before reading more. I want one!!! Maybe I should get a job??? My current job doesn''t pay anything. . .I doubt lounging around in VS pjs while my son sits on my lap with a runny nose will help me save for a huge diamond ring that will dazzles the gals in the grocery store line, so hmmmm. . .what to do?

At any rate, yanekie25''s ring is very beautiful and I will look at it fondly and daydream that I''m getting one too!

MMM, you may be right. The GIA report was dated 2003, but BF said it was a new cut rather than an antique stone. It's not the square portions. It's actually like 1.84, but it looks great. I love the pillowy top that a cushion has, makes side views stunning.

I made more attempts. This is a great one.

One day I will figure out how to do a collage. Thanks again for the all the compliments, coming from you ladies, its means so much. I am so proud of my Fiance. Picking this ring, I feel like he graduated or something. Guys, should get a diamond diploma.

Looks like you have the best of both worlds! A newly cut stone (with high quality color!) with an antique look! Mah-vah-lous!
