I didn't get much response in rocky talky. I am torn on two settings for the cushion we've chosen. One has two larger side stones. Does anyone have a cushion set in the three stone fashion, or with two side stones followed by smaller stones on the band? I didn't see many in the show me your cushions thread... :wavey:
 
Are there any in the 3-stone thread, I wonder? I love the idea - sounds delicious!
 
I'll look. I posted photos of the setting we're looking at in RockyTalky. Just hoping the stone won't get lost in the setting?
 
This is my cushion set in a 3 stone setting.





(with wedding bands)
 
<<<< see avatar ring..

I'm running out the door but mine is a 3 stone with a more elongated cushion. (thread on the ring, Dec 2008.)
 
Thanks bebe and antiquelover! That helps a little. This is a squarish cushion and I'll be pairing it with rounds. I really think it will look great. I think SO is mostly nervous that it will get lost in the side stones. I don't think it will though. I'd love to see more!!!
 
Dragonfly, here's a picture of my custom made ring from BGD. Center cushion is 1.01 with traps and Brian's signature diamonds. I will be selling the setting if you're interested.

Alpha - That is absolutely stunning! If I weren't a yg girl I'd be snapping that up in a heartbeat! And great for reference for us as well!
 
Thanks, Dragonfly. I really love that setting and get compliments all the time. I'm changing the center stone and this setting just won't work with the stone.

Not a diamond, but here's my 3 ct. demantoid garnet cushion with side traps.
 
I think that setting looks lovely! Can you post it here for more people to comment w/o going over to your RT thread?
 
I love cushions with traps, I think they look great!
 
Here are the stone and setting.

Thanks for reposting the setting here, it's very pretty! The best way to make sure that the center stone won't get "lost in the setting" is to make sure there's a good size difference between the dimensions (mainly the length) of the center stone and the diameter of the side stones.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh WHY is there not a thread on this ring???
 
Thanks Roxy!

I agree that emerald NEEDS a thread, not a ring, it has one. Sheesh.
 
Funny, I had thought I had posted a thread on my demantoid garnet, but then I realized it was on a totally different forum.

Ya know, the sad thing is that I am divorced now (been about 4 years), so I lurk more than post. I know it's weird. It's still my jewelry but I rather read about happy folks getting engaged. Hopefully one day I'll be engaged again, but for now, I just like giving/reading advice and looking at pretty rings....:)

Here's a few more pics though, if folks are interested (3+ ct demantoid garnet in platinum with two 1/4 ct. F color VS1 trap diamonds and two itty bitty .05 ct accent diamonds. size 4):

aw sorry briolette, at least you have very gorgeous rings to show!! The teeny tiny diamonds on the ends are a beautiful touch. What are the dimensions on the side traps? (and also the dimensions of your demantoid for comparison?)
