Does anyone have both of Wink's cartier cushion and mine cuts? Any pictures? It's hard to tell what the mine cut looks like from his page. Thanks a bunch!

I'm wondering this too...!

I have OECs and am waiting for a Cartier Cushion to arrive, but I don't have an OMC to compare...

I hope someone can help!

It is gorgeous. It was going in the three stone that is on DB now, but alas, I had to pick and choose what to keep and what to let go of, so the stone now has a new owner and the ring is on DB, but I would truly like to have another one some day in that exact color. The canary color is much lighter in the cushion than it is in the flanders.

What color stone are you looking for?

Well, it is going to be a future project, but I think I would like it to be the light yellow color. I've seen all the pics of Erica's OMC's, and they are lovely. So, I was wondering if Wink's OMC is similar, or if I would be better off with the Cartier cushion. I like the chunky facets. I see that they have a few cartier cushions on their sale items right now, but they are CW. And, I would probably want a 7mm in the future... just for a nice little solitaire.

Really? I love the way it looks in all the pictures I've seen (well, not that many pictures around). Wink has the OMC on his site (not a great pic), but they don't even have the Cartier Cushion as an option on their website! Is it special order only? I know they have it on their sales flier right now, but not in the size or color I would want. \:\( Oh well, I've got plenty of time....

+1! I loved that Canary Cartier cushion. All you have to do is call and ask them for it... ;\)

Here are more pics when I had it:





Here it is on the far left:



The facets were so pretty. And it was a much paler yellow than I thought it would be in the canary color. It was the perfect shade of yellow IMO... \:\)

Except for the shape, it looks like the facet pattern is the same. So happy someone linked to this thread! I am so glad I ordered a CC in LY...it should be here anyday!

I have a 7.5mm canary color OMC from Wink's. I'll post pics but it may not be today. It's a little more squared than the OEC, and definitely more symmetrical than most genuine OMC diamonds, lol.
