Antique & Cushion Cut Lovers, check out my new stone!

[dancingmelimel]

After months of not getting my previous new stone set, I decided to search out a cushion cut stone I would love. This is the stone I found to replace it....

It''s an Antique Cushion Cut, 1.33c, H SI1. Definitely doesn''t have the light return of the ACA I returned, but has excellent light return for an antique cut, and I just love the shape.

I went a little camera/loupe crazy, so I hope you enjoy photos as much as I do!

When I added the second pic, the 1st disappeared, so here it is again, I hope! (Should have cleaned stone better before photo session. Oh well.)

Pic #3......I love how this picture shows the cushiony shape of the diamond.

And finally, Pic #4...I love the dispersion shown in this photo, although I confess I believe it to be light leakage, as it is behind the stone. Still love the photo though!

I don't understand why the pictures are so large, since I used Photoshop to change the image size to 3-4 inches square.

Ah! I wish the picts were smaller, but it's a darling stone. I'm not wearing my OMC today, and it certainly makes me miss it. I chose an OMC over an OEC also because I loved that cushion-shape. I just can't imagine anything sweeter than a great OMC. Congratulations!

Thank you Hest! Sorry about the pic size. If anyone can tell me how to shrink them successfully, I'll repost a smaller pic thread. Or maybe Leonid could shrink them and keep the thread as is? Hmph.

Okay, now anyone who wants to can view all these pictures smaller in:

And hopefully Leonid will delete this thread so there's not all this redundancy I created.

Dopey me.
