Cushion Cut Diamond Engagement Rings - Modern Elegance

Cushion Cut Diamond Engagement Rings showcase a brilliant and uniquely pillow-shaped diamond with large facets and rounded corners. The shape is often described as a hybrid of a rectangle and oval or a cross between an oval and old mine cut. The old mine had 58 facets while the modern cushion touts 64 facets. Though the cushion cut is widely known in famous gemstones such as the Hope Diamond (45.45 carats), Regent Diamond (140.5 carats) and Yellow Tiffany Diamond (128.54 carats), the cut is rather rare. Larger facets highlight the diamond’s clarity and the oval feature increases the stone’s brilliance.

Fashioned after the Old Mine, this diamond cut has been around for nearly 200 years and was as popular in its time as the round brilliant is today. The cushion will return light in chunkier patterns than many other modern shapes. Marcel Tolkowsky's research of the 1920s was used in enhancing the antique cushion cut diamond by enlarging the table (flat top of the diamond), decreasing the size of the culet (bottom point) and enhancing the facets. These changes amplified the lumen of the stone. Many buyers are attracted to the scarcity of the cut and the feel of the stone that combines the classic romantic look with modern day brilliance.While less brilliant than the round brilliant cut diamond, cushion cuts often render a more intense fire than other modern cuts. Cushions generally display one of three fundamental facet patterns which can create varied appearances. The shape of the stone can also vary between diamonds; some will have more rounded edges while others have edges that are more linear. A cushion with larger facets will create broad flashes of fire. Smaller facets of the cut result in more precise bursts of fire often referred to as “pinfire”.
