Cushion Cut Engagement Rings

Cushion cut diamonds are an antique cut, similar in shape to a mixture of rounds, ovals and square princess diamonds. The cushion cut is increasingly becoming one of the most popular of the fancy shapes, behind the most popular round and princess cuts.

Shaped like a small pillow or cushion, the diamond has soft rounded edges and is available in square ratio cuts to more elongated rectangular cuts. As a brilliant cut diamond, the cushion cut has exceptional fire and sparkle.

Back in the 18th century people didn’t have all the surrounding lights that gave diamonds the entire extra sparkle. Jewelers then, looked for a diamond cut which will “catch” candle lights in the widest spectrum, since that was the only light source at night.

Modern cushion cut diamonds have been modified to the kind of lights we are surrounded by these days however both modern and antique cut cushion diamonds are very popular choices.

Cushion cut diamond engagement rings are very popular worldwide and would be perfect for romantic couples who look for a vintage or antique style engagement ring.
