If anyone has a similarly-sized cushion in a similar setting, I would love to see hand shots!!

I really like the first setting, I think the proportions are nicer with a stone this size. As to the stone, I'm sure cushion experts will be along soon but the first one looks pretty! Sometimes lighter yellow colours can be really deepened by a yellow gold basket but I guess that will be difficult with the halo type setting.

The second ring is owned by a PS member, dandiandi, here is her thread on it, complete with hand shots! Beautiful look!

I love both settings, but I think I lean a little more towards the first one. They are both beautiful though, you can't go wrong with either IMO.

I can't offer an expert opinion on the diamonds, but I really like the first one, I prefer that shape out of the two.

I prefer the first diamond, much larger face up and I just generally like the shape better. I also prefer the first setting. Good luck

Junebug, you have no idea how happy you made me!! I have been scouring the internet to find similar hand shots..... Thank you!!!

If anyone else has seen the other setting on a hand, I would be forever grateful! Thanks again, Junebug!

Also, I am also leaning toward first setting and first stone. Hoping to find a B & M store today where I can try on a similar size/setting even if it's with a colorless diamond or yellow sapphire...

I think the first stone seems like a good price for size and color... Any color/cushion experts, feel free to chime in

That setting is gorgeous!! I'll ask David about that setting, but I'm hoping for a more lemon-y yellow center stone. Thanks Asscherhalo_lover!!
