signature cushions

[aa1331]

So those of you that like hearts and arrow cushions know of the main types, bgd, brellia, and bn. Comparing straight surface area between the three there is a wide range of prices. I put a few examples below. Excluding the name brand premium, these are all h&a cushions would you personally consider these comparable and go with the lower price only based on size? Dont take into account color or variation in the outline of the particular cushion cut.

Brellia $25K 6.57x6.56x4.71 1.57 E VS1

BGD $26K 7.91 x 6.62 x 4.83 1.66 F VVS1

Yes bgd size is meadured diagonally but this was the best comparable

BN $15K 6.64x6.60x4.66 1.50 G VS2

Holy moly, 10k difference!

Yup. I'd be buying this one: http://www.bluenile.com/build-your-own-diamond-ring?forceStep=DIAMONDS_STEP&stockno=LD04332025#diamonds_forceStep=DIAMONDS_STEP|builder=BYOR|pid=LD04332025


And I'd put it on hold now.

We had someone buy one of these and get an ASET and it was a fabulous stone.

It's a nice stone. And you can't beat that price!

I'd probably pass on their settings though, personally. A lot of people have been dinging them on setting quality. So you might want to send it to another vendor (or even take it to a good local vendor) for setting.

I have been seriously eyeing the BN H&A cushions since I first heard about them a few months ago.

Great prices and I like the shape. There was a picture posted on here of one but I can't find it anymore!

I want to see more examples before I make a judgement but believe it or not .. I am considering it for myself too.

I like the outline shape of the BN cushion. Wonder about the crown height on those.

sorry to but in here... I think the stone he is looking at is nice too, like the hearts and arrows. I posted about needing advice on some james allen stones...gypsy or charmy could you take a look at my post? Id appreciate
I looked at blue nile and was unable to find anymore like this gentleman who posted found..
Thanks in advance if you see this post.

That's the thread of the one I got. I had been doing research for a while, and I couldn't believe the price. I'm very happy with the purchase, hopefully my gf will be too. It's off getting set now.

IMO, it doesn't hurt to at least have the stone sent to you, especially if you have a chance to save $10K! BlueNile has a 30 day return policy.

Scruffy, your stone looks great! Has a feminine outline. I'm sure your gf will love it. OP good luck on your cushion search!
