Cushion Diamond Engagement Rings

Another unique element of the cushion cut diamond is that the shape offers variation in the look and style of the cut. There are different ways of cutting the cushion shape, allowing you to choose between a modified cushion cut, which features extra facets, or a standard cushion cut diamond.

There are two distinct finishes, which affects the light dispersion in the diamond. The first is called a ‘brilliant’ cushion which allows you to see the back facets and light reflections in larger flashes. The second is the ‘crushed ice’ look, where the back facets aren’t as large or distinct but are instead small and scintillating, composed of much tinier facets. It is totally up to you which style you prefer, it simply comes down to which cut suits your style better.

The best setting for a cushion cut diamond is completely objective. It’s a versatile cut that would suit almost any engagement ring. Set as a solitaire, pavé or with a halo the cushion cut would fit perfectly with all styles and metals.
