Cushion Engagement Rings

Q: What is a cushion cut diamond engagement ring?

A cushion cut diamond engagement ring features a diamond with a square or rectangular shape and softly rounded corners, combining vintage charm with modern brilliance. The cut is known for its romantic, pillow-like appearance.

Q: Why are cushion cut diamonds popular for engagement rings?

Cushion cut diamonds are popular because they offer a soft, romantic aesthetic, excellent light performance, and a timeless appeal that blends antique elegance with contemporary style.

Q: How does a cushion cut differ from a round or princess cut?

Compared to round diamonds, cushion cuts offer broader flashes of light rather than intense sparkle. Unlike princess cuts, cushion diamonds have rounded corners, giving them a softer, more classic look.

Q: Do cushion cut diamonds look larger than their carat weight?

Often, yes. Cushion cut diamonds typically have a larger surface area, making them appear bigger than round diamonds of the same carat weight, especially in halo or low-profile settings.

The cushion diamond engagement ring also known as the ‘pillow cut’ diamond, is considered to be a more vintage version of the round diamond, with 58 larger facets.
