Have you seen the new prototype yet? It looks amazing! For those who love and prefer modern cushions, it's a real beauty. I think it would look awesome in a Harry Winston style halo. Now to get DH to agree I *need* another diamond... :naughty: :Up_to_something:

Well done Jonathan and kudos to the cutter!

It is really beautiful!! I'm an old cut junkie, but this would be one modern cut that I'd knock people over getting to!! :love:

You know, I think I like it better than the AVC! Who'd have thunk?

I feel the same way...I adore the August Vintage Cushions and hope to someday have one. But gosh, these are the best modern cushions I have ever seen! :love: I generally don't like modern cushions because they just often just don't look all that great, although Jon picks good ones for his inventory. But this one is one that I could see myself having...like Laila said...perfect for a HW halo!!!!! :appl:

I hope it is okay to post the video comparing the different cushion cuts.

I agree, I've always prefered an AC to the the modern cushions only because I could never find one that had a faceting pattern that I really liked, but this looks like a perfect blend of the two. Gorgeous! Add me to the list, I want one too! :love:

And look at that ASET! wow! Congrats Jonathon it's beautiful!

Okay, I know I must not be feeling well (zonked out on pain meds from surgery)... but this is not for me. AT ALL. Quick, someone take my temperature, I've met a diamond I don't like....! :???: The center looks like a windowframe to me... I don't know what it is, i just reminds me more of a cz. Ugh, time to go lay down...

I posted the video above! In fact, it includes a diamond like yours in the comparison!

Pretty! :love:

Gotta say though, I like mine more...feel lucky to have found one I still love. It's a GIA ex/ex though so that helps.

But boy, finding a great one is tough, so if GOG is making it easier, that's a good thing! :love:

Yes I do ... but I am once again thinking about selling it :razz:

There is a 2.8ct OEC I am wanting to buy ... but I think it just got sold :(

Wow. This is almost exactly what I'm looking for and I'm also looking to get the HW halo setting. It's just the price that's a bit too rich for my blood! About 1k more than a wanted to spend (8k is doable but I need to add 14.5% sales tax to canada). Bahhhhhh!

I like it! I think I like this better than AVC as well. I loved that the AVC was cut for perfection but the flashes are just a smidge too broad for me. I'm digging this modern cut and it seems more reasonably priced than the H&A square cushion!

Looks like the same 8 main facet pattern that was popular on PS before old cuts became all the rage. Some of the oldie PSers might remember- wasn't MoreMoreMore's cushion this facet style? These were the cushions that hooked ME and the reason I chose an 8 main modern, although mine is rectangular.

I'll take one of each! I'd love to have an AVC and one of these 8 main moderns, thankyouverymuch.

Reminds me a bit of the Octavia... The way the sparkle sort of aggregates at the corners?

Not for me at all, either. I very much prefer both the POH and the AVC over it.

hi, I am looking at one of these cuts for my halo...same cut but I colour and S1 in clarity and it was around $1000 more expensive than the other modern cushion I was looking at on GOG with same colour and clarity and just wondered if it was worth the extra?

my stone thread is here

[URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/help-advice-opinion-on-modern-1-ct-cushion-diamonds-for-halo.188901/']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/help-advice-opinion-on-modern-1-ct-cushion-diamonds-for-halo.188901/[/URL]

any thoughts appreciated :))

The diamonds have a single grade difference in clarity. SI1 vs SI2.

Personally, i think the additional $1000 isn't worth it and would go for the first stone you posted.
