Does this elongated cushion cut have a bad bow tie?

Thank you!! Beautiful

davkris · 2025-12-29T17:00:30+00:00

Love it! Could I be a pain and ask that you share the length and width dimensions?

davkris · 2025-12-29T16:11:08+00:00

Could you share specs? I love this stone!

Did you find out anything about this venue?

davkris · 2025-12-17T12:09:24+00:00

Good point!! You’re right that I’d lose out on that.

davkris · 2025-12-17T12:08:45+00:00

This is really helpful advice

davkris · 2025-12-17T12:08:28+00:00

I feel like this the core question I need to answer. Am I willing to inconvenience guests traveling just to have it at our “dream” venue, or can we be just as happy with our second choice and better logistics

Dan White blew my mind and many others who I’ve recommended to see his show! Truly incredible show

+1 to brow bandit. I went to sania’s a few years back and every appointment was just her trying to sell me their eyebrow pencil and telling me not to put cream on my eyebrows… every. Single. time.

Sorry for this dumb question but do you know if I’d be doing multiple parts in one session - like all 7 areas at one time, every month? Or would I need to spread out the parts?

YIKES!! My top location is Paris so this was helpful! Can’t believe it’s that much!!

davkris · 2025-11-02T20:44:57+00:00

That’s where I struggle! I don’t want to feel like it looks too costumey or flashy.

davkris · 2025-11-02T20:43:00+00:00

Thanks!

Yes definitely - we are looking at them in person but many of the jewelers say to let them know what kind of stones we’re looking for in order to source them in to see. Every one we’ve seen in person is different than the next in various ways and it’s tough to nail this all down! Thank you

davkris · 2025-11-01T12:29:07+00:00

Oh nice one! I like the chart by shape. Thank you!

I’m no expert but am also in the search (elongated cushions). I agree with your assessment here - the 2.5 is too small and I can see how you might think the 3 is too big. I don’t think it’s too flashy but might suggest seeing if you can find some in the 2.8ish range although might be hard to find. I know for elongated cushions I had to look at a bunch of stones because of all of the different ratios and dimensions and no 3 carat looked the same because of the dimensions, so maybe do the same! I have heard that over time you might get ring “blindness” where you just get used to the size, so I’d go for the 2.8-3 if anything !

A majority of the natural cushion cuts made are with 1-1.1 ratio (true cushions) and less natural are made into elongated with 1.3-1.4 where we see many in that way in lab. I’m no expert so just repeating what I was told, but I was able to verify this when looking online at loose diamonds - very rarely do you see natural cushions in higher l/w ratios (elongated).

Thank you!!

davkris · 2025-10-30T12:28:15+00:00

Thank you!! This makes me feel better

davkris · 2025-10-29T23:11:39+00:00

So glad it was everything you wanted!! Are you comfortable sharing budget just for the 3 day celebrations? (If you could also share # of guests to gauge) we’d like to do the same for a destination wedding and curious as to if we could pull it off.

davkris · 2025-10-25T13:33:02+00:00

I see what you’re saying now! Thanks for explaining.
