If only that culet was more round-y...

What a sweetie... Thanks for bringing this up!

Those large facets look vintage and that is very nice, IMO.


I wonder if the ''keel'' was not meant to keep the angles even on both sides - which should be a good thing as much (=little) as I can tell.

Jonathan?

I saw this one too - lovely, isn''t it?????

Here''s another Cushion Modified Brilliant, though I wish there was a better picture of the actual stone!

NO idea what this would look like in person...

This is the Daussi Cushion (TM) by Henri Daussi. Interesting in that it has a somewhat "antique" look as well as the "keel" (good description, Ana!) of the last GOG cushion I posted.

No plot, but here''s the CrissCut Cushion...

 

[fatafelice]

And the Tiffany Legacy Cushion. Again, no plot...

Here''s another comparison I made up.

They are:

A: Cushion Brilliant OR Cushion Modified Brilliant (I think I have seen certs with both)
B: Cushion Brilliant
C: Cushion Modified Brilliant

Here''s Lizz''s beatiful cushion brilliant. Looks a little different from some of the others we have seen (longer facets, sort of like the Daussi cushion?)

Here''s my new cushion brilliant! You can really see those SI2 inclusions here

, but at you can also really see the chunky facets and the slightly large culet that make it look more like an "old" stone.
