Is a cushion cut square or rectangular?

It can be either. Length-to-width ratio determines whether the outline appears square, softly rectangular or distinctly elongated.

Why do two cushion diamonds sparkle differently?

Cushion facet patterns vary considerably. Compare actual videos or view stones in person rather than relying only on the certificate.

Do cushion diamonds look smaller than other shapes?

Some carry more weight below the surface. Compare millimetre measurements and face-up appearance, not carat weight alone.

Choosing a Cushion Cut Engagement Ring

Cushion cut diamonds combine softly rounded corners with brilliant faceting, creating a distinctive shape that can range from classic and romantic to clean and contemporary. Cushions are available in near-square and elongated proportions, allowing the shape to suit a wide variety of engagement ring designs.

When comparing cushion diamonds, consider the overall proportions, face-up dimensions and facet pattern rather than carat weight alone. Some stones display broad, defined flashes of light, while others have the finer appearance often described as crushed ice.

What To Compare

Square versus elongated proportions
Defined versus crushed-ice facet pattern
Face-up dimensions for the carat weight
Symmetry and consistency of the rounded corners
How the diamond fits the chosen setting

Cushion cut diamonds work particularly well in solitaire, halo, hidden halo and vintage-inspired engagement rings. A simple band keeps the design clean and lets the centre diamond stand out, while a halo or detailed setting can emphasize the cushion cut's softer outline.
