Not sure about this cushion...help please?

[carochinha]

Hi, everyone. Need some help evaluating a stone, please. I''m working with a couple of reputable jewelers, one locally and one in another city, to source a stone for our solitaire. The paramenters are an elongated cushion, antique / large facet cuts, eye-clean (S1 and up), and within budget. The out of town jeweler and I spoke on the phone about a stone they found that was promising....but then I received the email with images. The cuts aren''t as "even" and large as I think I''d like and looking at the Idealscope image, am I wrong in thinking there''s a lot of light leakage so that the stone won''t really sparkle and "talk to you"? I''d love to be wrong but am out of my league and could use some input.

Stats:
Cushion Brilliant
1.06 ct
W 5.81x L 7.5 (1.29 length/width)
Depth 53.9%
Table 60.5

It looks like it''s got too much crushed ice in the middle for my taste. Try giving Mark at ERD or Jon and GOG a call. I''m fairly confident that either of them can find a better cushion for you.

You can find better i think.

i''m sure one of the frequent PS experts will be able to guide you . Good luck in your search!

Its ok but I agree you can probably do better, try Jon at www.goodoldgold.com or Mark at www.engagementringsdirect.com

Ummmm, that doesn''t seem to antiquey with large facets to me. I''d second calling Jon at GOG.

Thanks everyone for confirming my hunch. I appreciate your feedback! The search continues....

It doesn''t look like an antique to me too. I''d ask Jon at GOG for one of his new signature Old Mine cuts.
