Help finding LGD like a spring cut

[oncrutchesrightnow]

Good news: I ordered a EG diamond that looks like a similar cut. It is beautiful and the cut would be perfect for this project.



The EG one is 1.05 ct (K, VS1 GIA) and 7x5mm; for the right look, the ring will probably need a 9x6 LGD center stone which could be 2.5-3 ct. Check out the below rad Stuller mock-up of 7x5 vs. 9x6:





Might ask around for estimates on a custom cut. Will undoubtedly get sticker shock, then save up a few years.

The EGD is very pretty and I intend to keep it. Ideas for settings? I always wanted a 5-stone bullet/trap setting and thought someday I would get a LGD elongated cushion to make a ring, but maybe this EGD would be a good candidate.



One other solution might be to use this 7x5 EGD as the center among other illusion-set stones to bump the center up to 9x6.


Im fine with mixing EGD and LGD for this project.

I really like the bullet/trap setting!

On Ritani, I searched lab diamonds- Shape: Radiant and Culet: select everything except for “None”

Yes it is, thanks. The facets are a little narrower.

I found a similar one where the narrow facets are pushed out to the edge more. It is VS2 but full of stria/internal graining and it has some inclusions so we shall see how it looks in person.

Anyone else notice just about all of the "interesting" stones disappeared off Ritani's site?

Read about that in another thread. How about other sites?

Here is the end result, thanks to David Klass. I was worried about the stria/graining but the diamond looks clear.



Anyway, thanks for everyone’s help. This ring is not my usual style and I never would spend the $$$ on EGD but that is why God created lab grown diamonds.



Re the pseudo criss-cut: It is OK, not too firey, soaks up color like wow, some windowing, hides inclusions well. A real criss cut might perform differently since I selected this one mainly for the broader facets in the middle in an attempt to mimic the spring cut. I needed something like a radiant to use in the inspo ring and I’m not a fan of radiants so this was a good alternative.

It really is beautiful with old time glamour, and I love the bezel and shape/cut of the diamond.
