Definitely the first one.
 
I am no expert but #1 catches my eye!
 
I voted 2. I like the more rectangular shape, chunky center facets, and the culet. I would ask Jonathan to do a video of the two together if he has a chance! So helpful

They seem very different to me, which is why I think I''m having a hard time deciding. The first one is really eye-catching, but the second has that chunky look about it that I like a lot. Sarah at GOG did say the first one was really stunning, and the second couldn''t compare. So confused!
 
Have you asked Jon about his new chunky signature cushions? He is getting shipments in now, maybe he would have something that you would love.
 
Number One. Yummo! Plus I think that one has the upgrade, and the other doesn't.
 
Jet,

I think the first one is one of the signature cushions? Or am I confused?

Ditto

Out of the two posted I prefer the first one.
 
I like the light return on the first, and the faceting of the second. If a stone like that would be preferable to you, I''d ditto jet in asking about others coming down the pipeline.
 
The one you posted looks like the square H&A cushion. I thritto the idea of looking at one of the new signature OMC cushions. They''re soooooooo dreeeamy.
 
Oh I see! Thanks for clarifying. Man a video would definitely be helpful. Or a trip to Long Island to visit

I could be mistaken, but I believe that GOG signature stones are ones he backs with a lifetime guarantee and come in a multitude of shapes and styles. The stone you posted looks like a signature cushion in a modern cut, not a chunky cut.

Thanks for clarifying; I was confused. You''re totally right - I should ask him.
 
The first one is closer to a square shape and that is why I like it . . . . its a preference though. I like the Tiffany Legacy look so that is why I chose the first one

Have you seen this thread https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/post-your-gog-new-cushion-video-and-diamond-pictures.117449/ It has vids of the new OMC cushion. Mine comes tomorrow

I''d love to visit GOG too, but whooooooeeee, I''d do severe damage to my retirement fund -- all those beautiful stones right there for the pickin''.
 
Just to help avoid confusion we had a lengthy meeting today about the subject of "GOG Signature Cushions" featured on our site since we are featuring a new product to our line. We are currently working on the back-end to update our search engine so it will be easier for the public to distinguish what''s what. "Signature GOG Cushions" will come in 2 varieties. The 2 varieties represent the 2 basic facet designs featured in the world of cushions which consist of a "Modern" facet structure and an "Antique" (or OMC) facet structure. What will qualify them as signature diamonds isn''t necessarily the facet structure but their light performance because doggy optics dominate both facet designs. I have cutters with whom I can get some cushions with great optics among the modern faceted cushions. My frustration in hunting down cushions for clients was among the chunky faceted OMC styled cushions with great light performance. I could find them but finding them would generally require multiple call in''s which adds up to a considerable shipping expense just to help one client and on internet markups leaves very little room. This is what led to our new design which I am having cut consistently for me now diamond after diamond in the latest videos most of you have seen featured from us recently.

Bottom line ... if a diamond is backed with "lifetime" policies ... the optics have been confirmed and are there. If it says 30 day guarantee either a. the optics aren''t there or b. I haven''t had the chance to personally, visually inspect the diamond. If you''re boiling down between 2 in particular simple ask for a comparison and I can accurately show you the optics given by each diamond and also explain why or why I would not recommend the diamond.

Thanks for your patience and understanding while we make a slight revamp on our site to reflect these upcoming changes.

Kindest regards,
 
The 2 stones are equally beautiful but completely different in looks: cushion 1 is modern while cushion 2 is an antique chunky. How about asking Jon to do a video of the 2 stones side by side?

Well that just confirmed it for me. #1 has the optics, #2 doesn''t. So... gonna say number 1, unless you can find a chunky style with nice optics and the lifetime guarantee.
 
i voted the first one. at first i thought you should pick the 2nd one. i thought it looked good and was bigger and less expensive. and then i saw what looks like an inclusion or something at the top that would not be able to be covered with a prong or anything so i had to say the first one. it is divine. good thing you put a hold on that one. it is fabulous and would surely be stolen from you.

One slight dilemma ... I can''t recall if I''ve inspected this one (#2) personally off the cuff or not.

I''ll personally check it when I get in tomorrow though and see how it fares. I did a shoot for a client today of 2 diamonds that both had chunky facet structure but 2 totally different apperances.

Hey Rhino! Thanks so much for stopping by the thread and clarifying the Signature Cushion confusion.

I would really appreciate it if you could check out the second cushion, and let me know how it performs. I''d love to see a comparison if you have the time.

I think you guys (at GOG) all have my contact info, since I did put a hold on the first cushion (my e-mail address is there).

Thanks so much!

If you film a video for her, you can use it as the opening music!

Though I also love the heavy metal that you usually use! When I hear it I always chant "Wayne's World, Party On, Wayne's World!!"

BEG, do you like the chunky look?
These are two totally different diamonds..
if you lean toward the chunky look, I would recommend simply waiting for Jon''s next shipment of
signature OMC''s - can''t beat em.

"It''s party time! EXCELLENT!" Yes, definitely appropriate when looking at those videos of the sparklies...

Brown Eyed Girl, I prefer the square shape of #1 and the chunky facets of #2...though, I do hope to see a video comparing the two!
30.gif
 
I would go with the first one. I like the modern facet look more so than the chunky but that’s just me. First stone is very very nice as I had to decide between that and another stone. I picked the other one as that seemed to have better fire/sparkle in the video Jon shot for me! But you can’t go wrong with the first stone. Btw OP did you reserve the first stone? It’s being held at the moment!
 
Hmm I don''t know. I love the looks of both the modern and the antique - those new OMC cusions are TDF though! The only cushion look I''m not a fan of is the crushed ice look. So it''s kind of a tough call.
 
I generally like the OMC cushions, but in this case I think I prefer the first one. I prefer a more square stone, and this one has a really nice ASET. Love the starry facet pattern!
 
I vote for the second - I love the broad flashes and really liked the light return on the 1st. The second looked like it had some leakage.

If you can wait, I''d recommend the new OEC''s he''s got coming. They are fantastic!
