Re: staying under budget with cushion cut and setting.. help

If you're still considering a cushion, here's a hearts & arrows cushion that is very reasonably priced:
http://www.briangavindiamonds.com/diamonds/diamond-details/0.642-f-si2-cushion-diamond-ags-104065050020

4.92mm square is a pretty decent face-up size for 64 points.

I looked at a lot of cushions at BGD, and even found out they are doing hearts and arrows like Good Old Gold's brellia now (i really love that cut!)... but I couldn't find a setting in my price range that worked from Brian. Their diamond prices are great but they don't have a lot of settings in the $1000-1500 range.

That stone looks great for the money but its fairly rectangular @ 5.8x4x9 ~ 1.2 ratio.

Good idea to go through whiteflash. I don't know if they still do but they used to give you 75 off your first purchase. Have you gotten in touch with them? Make sure they have the setting for the same price? The sales associates are really helpful! I'd ask them what they suggest

I think they offer special "pricescope" pricing (~5% off or something similar) and also a $50 off first purchase which helps!!

Thanks for the help as always ladies and gents!

The dimensions are deceiving here. The first number should be the diagonal length. These stones are labeled as square and should be 1:1 and no more than 1.04:1.

I do agree that their setting selection/price leaves something to be desired. I just shipped a loose stone and I'm getting it set locally.

I also have a Ritani halo and can vouch for its quality.
