I'm super excited to show you all my new 8 main modern cushion brilliant. It's in a temporary setting here, but I thought it was fun sitting on a blue crystal that my jeweler had in his shop. I'll be putting it in its "new home" in the next few weeks.

Yummmm!! I'm loving the proportions!!! Can't wait to see more!
 
very nice! :)

i'm looking for a similar diamond. any advice on where i can find one?

Similar specs to yours but slightly smaller.

many thanks!
 
It looks gorgeous! More photos please!
 
I will definitely post more pix and hand shots once I get it out of the temp setting!

@tom123 - I worked with Diamonds Direct in Raleigh to get this one. I think that any of the usual cushion providers would be happy to set you up with something similar. I talked to Mark at Engagement Rings Direct a few times, and I watched a ton of Rhino's videos from Good Old Gold. Just be very specific in saying that you want a Modern 8 Main Cushion, and they should be able to get you what you need. :)

I actually found this video to be fascinating - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICcqpeV1CH4 It shows the sparkle pattern of different cuts of cushions.
 
Here's a picture of the diamond by itself from the vendor.

Oh my!!!!!!! :love:
 
:wavey: I am in NC, too! There is a DD in Charlotte!

Your diamond looks beautiful! :love:
 
Hi Diamondseeker!! I am actually in Washington State but a good friend of mine is friends with the VP of the Raleigh DD.

I've only been to NC a handful of times (Charlotte both times), but I loved it out there!

I would want to be your friend and all, but my heart stopped after I saw that diamond photo you posted and now I am dead.
 
Congrats! It's beautiful!
 
Yummy!!!! Love the picture on the crystal too. What is the forever setting going to be??
 
Beautiful...faces up so large for a 2 c...just luscious!
Can't wait to see more pictures.
 
That stone is very very pretty. What are you planning for your "permanent" setting???? How exciting!!
 
Wowza, stunning cushion! :love: I love modern cushion cuts.
 
Stunner! Any thoughts on how you're going to set it?

Thanks all for the nice comments.

I think I would like something similar to Leon Mege's Lotus ring - https://www.artofplatinum.com/vault/lotus-engagement-ring

@cygnet - LOL!!! Please, no dying on my thread. :knockout:
 
Wowza! Talk about sparkle and flash!
 
Yes! My avatar is my mini eskie who passed away in late 2008. I have a standard eskie now who runs the household. :)
 
What a gorgeous stone!!! TBH I don't normally go for cushions but the faceting on yours is fabulous - it must be a total dazzler IRL :love: :sun: :appl:


Leon's lotus would be sublime :bigsmile:
 
All I gots to say is...

"Dayuum dayuuuuuummmmmm DAYYYUUUUUMMMMMMM!!"
 
Please post pictures of the stone in its forever setting once its done! That's such a lovely rock!
 
Wow, I LOVE the cut on that!!!! I may have a new favorite cushion ....
