I found a beautiful antique cushion stone. It is 5 carats, cut around the turn of the century, K, VS1. I don''t really see color when I look at it. What do you guys think about a K on an antique cut?

A K colour in an antique cut?? LOVE it! To me this is what I call an " antique white" and a little colour only adds to the charm of these old stones. I would suggest getting an independant appraisal on the diamond and making the sale final on it checking out to your satisfaction, sometimes these old stones can have small chips or nicks around the girdle, so an appraisal for a purchase of this magnitude is always a good idea. Also check it out in various lighting situations, sometimes the warmth in these colour grades ( and especially in a mammoth stone like this one) can be more apparent in some lights than others.

Here is the appraiser listing so you can find one in your area.

Is the diamond preset in a ring, or if not how do you plan to set it?

Sound scrumptious! Ditto Lorelei''s suggestions. If all checks out, sounds like a winner to me!
 
Um, yes please.

That sounds absolutely gorgeous. K/L/M/N is my favorite color range for antique cuts, especially M/N. I love a hint of color in antique cuts, and it doesn''t hurt that it makes them a heck of a lot more affordable.
 
5ct, K, antique cushion......sounds promising to me!

Just get it appraised before you commit.

umm heck ya!!! I would take it! if it all checks out well
 
If I had the money...um, yeh!
 
Sounds lovely!
 
That would be awesome and I think it''d look lovely!!
 
I really like lower colors on antique stones! Good luck!!!
 
That sounds beautiful. I would love to see pictures if you end up getting it.
 
I think it is a horrible idea and you should walk away. Just make sure to post where you found it so I can snap it up!

(It really sounds like it could be lovely, I love the combination of warm color and antique cut. If you do purchase, make sure to post pics so we can all drool.)
 
Sounds lovely!
 
Most antique cuts are lower in the color grades anyway.
 
I think it sounds absolutely marvelous. I hope you get it, and I hope you post pics!
 
Sounds great!!! If you buy, please post pics!
 
Bought the diamond!!!!! Designing the band now. Am told that it will take 4 weeks. I''ll post pix when I get it. Any recommendations on a non-halo design?

WOO HOO!!!!!!!
 
He!! yeah
 
I LOVE the Boston Jeff setting! Thanks. I am going to take that picture to my jeweler. I would love to do that prong setting with some diamonds around the band. Thanks so much for the great idea!
 
Congrats. :)
 
The ring is beautiful! Simple and elegant, shows off the stone.

I can''t wait to see pictures!
 
I can''t wait to see the pictures! Congratulations!
 
I met with my jeweler today. We''re doing a setting similar to Boston Jeff''s. (Thanks for suggesting this!! I love the double prongs.) I am also doing a French pave band . . . very delicate. We''re doing a wedding band that will sit flush. I am so excited. I can''t believe I have to wait 2 weeks for the wax and another 2 for the ring. Can''t wait til the day when I can wear it and share pix!!!
 
I can''t wait to see pics! Post as soon as, please! The setting sounds gorgeous.
 
Yow! Can''t wait to see this beautuy!
 
This is sure to be stunning! Can not WAIT to see pictures!
