The Old-New Classic
As one of the oldest diamond cuts and shapes, the cushion cut diamond boasts a rich and illustrious history that spans centuries. If you are interested in diamond history or love to explore modern styles, the cushion-cut diamond might be an ideal choice for you.
Often referred to as the old-new classic, the cushion cut diamond is deeply rooted in history while branching out to capture the imagination of modern admirers. Its journey from the illustrious old mine cut to the refined cushion cut showcases a remarkable evolution in diamond cutting.
The Old Mine Cut
The modern cushion cut diamond evolved from an early form of brilliant cut known as the old mine cut. Originating in the 1700s, this cut was the predominant choice until the late 19th century. Its name, old mine cut, pays homage to the diamond mines in Brazil, where it was used to optimize the retention of carat weight for the rough crystals abundant in the area.
After the diamond mines in India began to dry up, Brazil became the next main diamond mining hub. However, following the discovery of diamond deposits in South Africa, the mines in Brazil were labeled as the "old mines," thus cementing the name of this type of cut.
The old mine cut is characterized by a symmetrical shape with soft corners and a high crown. Each facet, meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans, captures and reflects light in a mesmerizing display, imparting a warm glow to the stone.
Characteristics of a Cushion Cut Diamond
Renowned for its romantic allure and versatile appeal, this classic diamond cut has captured the hearts of jewelry connoisseurs for centuries.
The name "cushion" aptly describes its appearance, reminiscent of a plush pillow inviting you to sink into luxurious comfort. Each facet is meticulously crafted to enhance its brilliance and fire, creating a mesmerizing interplay of light and shadow.
The symmetrical placement of facets ensures a balanced reflection of light. Additionally, the symmetry of the cut enhances the diamond's overall appeal, with perfectly aligned corners and facets contributing to its aesthetic charm.
