Translate this ring into diamond specs?

[yellowrose1400]

Hi Everyone - I'm very new here, but am starting research for my engagement ring (I want to be able to give my boyfriend as much guidance as possible, he needs it ). I have an old family ring that I am in LOVE with, and I have been trying to translate it to diamond specs (mainly cut and size/carat) and would appreciate your help! The ring measures approx. 7 mm by 7 mm. I'm sorry if this is the wrong place, I know this isn't a diamond, but I am hoping to find a similar diamond ring so I thought it might apply.

AHHH - and I tried so hard (image shows up on my screen for the original post). Did it work this time?

It looks like a checkerboard cushion cut aquamarine or topaz? If it's 7 x 7, you're looking at a ~2 carat cushion cut diamond but they're not very commonly seen with that sort of cut. You could get a similar look with a cushion-shaped rose cut or if you like big broad flashes, try an antique cushion. It's a lovely ring - I really like how at a distance, those side stones look a little like filigree cutouts

Yoram @diagem might be able to advise if there are any diamond cuts like that. Check out his website:

Hi yellowrose1400,

Just wondering, what is it about this ring that you want to translate into your Engagement Ring - the overall shape (square-ish) or the faceting pattern (the "checkerboard" on the top of the stone)?

Are you hoping to keep the accent stones of similar size and shape or is your main focus the center stone.

Because the particular stone you are using as an example does not have a table, you will find it very difficult to find a diamond of similar cut, though nearly any step-cut diamond would be a good starting point.
