Shape
Cushion-cut diamonds are renowned for their soft, square shape that resembles a pillow. They boast modern brilliant-cut faceting, which results in a remarkable radiance and fire, reflecting white and colored light. These diamonds exhibit the most fire of all the cuts, emitting bright and colorful light flashes. They are more affordable by carat than the round brilliant-cut diamonds, and their rounded edges make them highly durable. The square shape with rounded edges imparts an antique appearance to cushion-cut diamonds, making them popular for vintage-style engagement rings. A halo setting helps to create the illusion of a larger diamond and provides added sparkle. Alternatively, let your cushion-cut diamond shine in an elegant solitaire setting.
For a classic square-shaped cushion-cut diamond, look for a length-to-width ratio of 1.00 to 1.05. For an elongated cushion-cut diamond, choose a length-to-width ratio of 1.06 to 1.10.
