My new 8 main modern cushion brilliant

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.

VS2
7.79x7.70x4.79

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!

 

[snotty_pie]

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.

I am in NC, too! There is a DD in Charlotte!

Your diamond looks beautiful!

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.

That stone is very very pretty. What are you planning for your "permanent" setting???? How exciting!!

Wowza, stunning cushion! I love modern cushion cuts.

 

[SC86]

Stunner! Any thoughts on how you're going to set it?

 

[snotty_pie]

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.

Wowza! Talk about sparkle and flash!

 

[snotty_pie]

Yes! My avatar is my mini eskie who passed away in late 2008. I have a standard eskie now who runs the household.

 

[yssie]

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


Leon's lotus would be sublime
