Ritani Elongated antique cushion?

[springsparkle]

I was ”window shopping” for lab diamonds with large culets on Ritani when I came across this stone. Is this an elongated antique cushion cut? What do you think about the cut? Video in link below. It looks beautiful to my untrained eyes. I ordered it to check it out in person… for science. FOR SCIENCE!

The scientific community thanks you.

They have a few interesting cushions - do an advanced search for a large culet.

I am super excited to see what this looks like when you receive it!

They do! That’s what I did to find this one.

Oh I love it!! Do come back and share your scientific findings. Ya know, for research purposes of course. Haha! Great find!

ETA how did you filter for large culet stones?

I will definitely share my findings!! In the filters for diamonds, scroll to the bottom and find the “More filters” button. You’ll find a place to choose a Culet size when you expand that section. I also narrowed the search down to Cushion cut. And if you want to look for an elongated cushion, you could use the L/W ratio filter (also in “More filters” section) by choosing something with 1.2 ratio or higher.

I haven't done a proper shoot of it myself; I'll try to do that tomorrow. Here are some that Jonathan took prior to shipping:

Gorgeous!!! Those facets are so yummy. I am thinking of a split shank solitaire for my cushion too!

Thanks @ecf8503 for the pics, I haven't seen one of these outside of the DG website.

Can't wait to see yours as well @springsparkle !

[Mooshi]

Ugh, drool. If you find yourself with a video camera and some time I would be eternally grateful to see video of this stone in real life! I'm curious how the facets play compared to the emerald cut.

 

[torontocatlady]

WOW. Stunning!

 

[Slickk]

Ohmygoodness!! I love it so much!!!

 

[DoubleTrouble]

Oh wow… beeeautiful…. More pics maybe??

 

[ItsMainelyYou]

Um, yep, WOW is definitely the correct term.
How are the pastel flashes? I'd love to see it in motion.

 

[lulu_ma]

Love it! Those chunky facets

 

[momofive]

Beautiful. Lucky you!

 

[petrock<3]

Wowwwww that’s gorgeous

 

[springsparkle]

Thank you all! I’m really happy with this stone. Here are some more pictures! If you look at the close up, you can see that it’s almost like a hybrid antique/modern cushion cut. I’ve seen a couple of antique cushion cut lab diamonds on Lauren B that look like this. It faces up very nicely for a diamond under 4 carats, at 11.12x8.22x5.63mm.

I’ll try to upload some videos- I need to create a new YouTube account. Unless there’s an easier way?

Greetings and yes. I've seen these and have access as well. Just to further clarify though ... the facet design is actually vintage but it's the overall proportions and optics that result which contribute to the hybrid look. There are also cushions with vintage facet designs which don't even look hybrid at all and appear more modern than they do vintage.
Peace,
Rhino
