Not-of-this-Earth specialty-cut grudge match! (I.e. show me your LGD specialty cuts.)

Oh I love that! Is it pale pink?

That would be cool if it was pale pink! It is very white but they are fat petals and they reflect all the color off the phone case and from the window‘s. I got it in October when the tree’s were changing color.

The Weingarten Mixed Cut - 2.21ct with matching side cadillacs, setting by CvB

Wow! Absolutely amazing! Love the CVB setting. They both did an excellent job with this!

Thought it might be nice to have examples in one thread of LGD specialty cuts and vendors who provide them. If you have a LGD in an uncommon or proprietary cut, or know of a vendor who sells them, post them here. Antique cuts, superideals, etc. Grudge match format optional. :)

In this corner, blazing with the power of ten thousand suns, is an August Vintage Round (oec) from Distinctive Gem. Pros: Great light return, vendor vets them to exclude stria, friendly customer service. IGI cert. Cons: Mighty expensive.

In this corner, twinkling with the fire of a room full of flickering candles, is an OMC from Ouros Jewels. Pros: Legit looks like an antique OMC, especially in a smaller size. Broad flashes of fire. Budget-friendly. Cons: The true-to-antique-cut means that the light return is not bright from every single angle.

In this corner, sparkling with the frostiness of freshly fallen snow, is an antique cushion from Ouros Jewels. Pros: White light return all the way. Cons: Not exactly the cut one might imagine for antique cushion. (I liked anyway it so not complaining.)

In this corner, spiraling with a unique facet pattern, is the Rensu cut. Pros: Cross between splintery and chunky. Customer service is great for impatient people — the estimated dates for steps in the ring-making process were spot-on. IGI cert. Cons: This cut would look best in a larger size but the cut runs small so you might have to pay for 1.5 ct.+ to get the best results.

Last, blooming with the petals of a bouquet of roses, is the Rose Petal cut from Janeysjewels (Etsy). It’s actually white sapphire but the majority of this post has been LGD plus some of the pros/cons are LGD so I’m including it. Pros: Big poofy facets. Unique. Statement stone. Cons: Does not have the fire of a diamond, and per vendor (they can correct me if I’m wrong) the cut has to be a certain size and apparently it takes triple rough to cut, so probably not available in LGD at a reasonable price.

The Rensu cut - is Ankit doing lab diamonds?
 
That rascal. I was one of his first Etsy customers, he did a .50 ct. OEC for me and it's beautiful, and maybe too white! His innovation with different cuts has always impressed me. He's certainly very successful, I just hope he's good to his employees.
 
ROUND CORNERED RECTANGULAR MODIFIED BRILLIANT ...sorry, I wasn't yelling, that was IGI. Aka, Scissorcut or Crisscut type of cut.

Thanks ladies!
It was a chance encounter with this cut when I was "niffling" along in Ritani lab cuts last year. So far I have found a rose cut, this cut and that bright yellow I am waiting on. This was mixed in their Asscher cuts. They do not have any more right now at last check. I found them by checking length and width to find rectangles - most Asschers being square.

This is one of their basic settings in 14k. They did the double prong setting well. I'm a Ritani fan.

Ritani ramble: This is the fourth e-ring they have made me and all have been well made. Their customer service is improving. There is a new automated process that let me know the diamond was secured, and a further email asking me if I wanted to see it before it shipped. No glamour shots, but it was great to see before it shipped, especially since FedEx had a delay.

I'm happy to share the specs. The IGI report is below.
1.35ct E, VS1 7.87 x 5.42 x 3.5

You did really well with this stone. Its so pretty and what a great face-up size too! Looks great in that setting.
 
@diamondhoarder Thank you so much. The pictures have a bit of a fish bowl effect and slightly exaggerated size, but I really have enjoyed it!
 
Love this ring SO much. The center of that diamond, so bright and lively. A great center is what hooks me.

If you're speaking on my crisscross, honestly, I may be rehoming it to help cover my recent impulse yellow e-ring If only I could keep everything...I wasn't sure if I should mention that here, but then thought I should, or folks would be scratching their heads when it pops up on pre-loved. :)
 
I'd like to see what nudged that ring into 2nd place.
 
Hoo boy. That is really yellow! I think at least one great yellow is a necessity.
Specs?
 
Yes, that will glow in no lighting. Wow!
I have a natural intense yellow EC that is very deep and barely intense, but I truly love it. I predict you will be buying "little outfits" for that diamond. So many things will augment the color and appeal.
