A cushion cut diamond can be a slightly more romantic version of a square or emerald cut diamond. This is due to the fact that the diamond is cut in such a way as to appear a little more rounded (like a cushion, hence the name), and a little softer around the edges. A cushion cut diamond can resemble a square or rectangle, but will always have rounded off corners.

Cushion cut diamonds work well in the vintage style, geometric center settings that we have been seeing more of in the last few years. These diamonds can be set alone with a prong style setting, or can be surrounded equally beautifully with smaller diamonds or accent stones.

Cushion cut diamonds will only have about 60 facets, due to the fact that in earlier times they were cut in a particular way so as to sparkle best in the candlelight. Nowadays, contemporary diamond cuts feature a higher number of facets, leading to more bling and sparkle overall. A cushion cut diamond has to be relatively free of inclusions, and needs to be of a good color to make up for the lesser number of facets. Included diamonds should not be used for the cushion cut as the flaws will be easier to spot than with other diamond cuts.

Cushion cut diamonds first became popular in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s and can still be found in antique engagement rings. Occasionally, these diamonds will still be referred to by their older names which are “candlelight” and “pillow” cut diamonds.

Cushion cut diamonds are becoming increasingly popular as a softer version of a square or emerald cut diamond. Cushion cut diamonds have been in existence since the late 1800’s, and can be found in estate engagement rings as well as in contemporary engagement rings. Platinum engagement rings do tend to be the choice for celebrity engagement rings. There are a couple of reasons for this.
