Cushion Cut Engagement Rings

A cushion cut engagement ring is recognised by its square or rectangular outline, softly rounded corners and faceted appearance.

The cushion cut offers a distinctive alternative to sharper geometric diamond shapes, while its faceting can create attractive brilliance and fire. The proportions of the diamond can also influence whether it appears more square or elongated.

Why Choose a Cushion Cut Engagement Ring?

A cushion cut engagement ring may appeal if you are looking for:

• Softly rounded diamond corners
• A square or rectangular diamond outline
• Beautiful diamond brilliance
• Romantic and distinctive styling
• A versatile diamond shape
• A balance of classic and contemporary design

The cushion shape works beautifully with a variety of engagement ring settings and precious metals.

Cushion Cut Solitaire Engagement Rings

A cushion cut solitaire engagement ring places the cushion diamond at the centre of the design, allowing its distinctive shape and faceting to remain the main focus.

This style is ideal if you prefer a clean engagement ring design without additional diamonds competing with the centre stone.

Cushion Cut Engagement Rings by Proportion

Cushion diamonds can vary in length and width, creating different visual profiles.

Square Cushion Cut Engagement Rings

A square cushion cut has similar length and width proportions, creating a balanced outline with softly rounded corners.

Elongated Cushion Cut Engagement Rings

An elongated cushion has greater length than width, creating a longer silhouette while retaining the characteristic rounded corners of the cushion shape.

Consider the proportions carefully when choosing a cushion diamond, as they can significantly influence the appearance of the finished engagement ring.

Cushion Cut Engagement Rings vs Other Diamond Shapes

Cushion diamonds have a distinctive combination of soft corners and a structured outline.

Compared with a round diamond, a cushion offers a more defined geometric silhouette. Compared with an emerald cut, a cushion generally offers a more brilliant faceted appearance. Compared with a princess cut, the cushion has softer corners and a less sharply geometric outline.
