My cushion: pictures

[cushionlovelondon]

Quite a few people were helpful on my first post below and asked for pictures, so here they are!

I'd love to know what you think (good and bad) and what sort of cushion this is because the definitions are baffling me. Please excuse my terrible photography.

Caveat: Please note that the diamond is sitting on the unpolished and unset cast. The sidestones aren't in and it looks rough. The diamond has not been set - it is literally 'sitting' on the 4 prongs (unevenly at times).
But it gives an idea! I love my stone - it sparkles and sparkles! Yay! It is intended that it will look like the Novo.

Thanks so much Kweet! That''s so nice of you!

I think I''ll wait till the whole ring is ready before posting on the other board... tempting though it is! It''ll look a bit different once it''s set and the sidestones are there.

In the interim I am really glad you like it, and wish you so much luck (and fun!) picking your cushion! The one you posted yesterday was a beauty! Can''t wait to follow your search

Your ring is beautiful. Who made your setting?

Nice.

But I believe it is against forum policy to post blog links or link images from outside of the forum so your link might be taken down soon. Can you post the pics in the thread, if they are too big, emailed the admin with the images and ask for their help in posting it.

Thanks so much all of you for the comments! I''m a very lucky girl. Sorry for posting onto a blog - I couldn''t resize the photos on my own.

Interesting, I was worried my ring sized up small for its size, but I am no specialist.

I''m afraid I don''t know the name of the setter in Hatton Garden - I can find out though. I have to say that I think his work is incredible. It is hard to see in the photos and also this is a pre-polished version of the shank, but his attention to detail is second to none. I''m so lucky to know someone in the industry so FI could get my ring at cost price. It''s helped us out no end both in terms of finances and having an easy heart about making the purchase.

Again, thanks so much everybody! You''re all great
