Cushion Cut Diamonds

Romantic Glow With A Cushion Cut Diamond

The cushion cut diamond, with its soft corners and pillow-like shape, is a favourite for those drawn to romance and vintage appeal. Unlike brilliant cuts that prioritise sparkle, the cushion cut emphasises warmth and depth, producing a glow that feels timeless.

Cushion Cut Diamonds: A Cut With Heritage

The cushion cut has been loved for over 200 years, making it one of the oldest diamond shapes still in use. Popular in the 19th century and the Art Deco era, it remains a beloved choice for those who adore vintage design with a modern twist.

Key Characteristics Of A Cushion Cut

  • Shape: Square or rectangular with rounded corners.
  • Facets: Larger facets for a romantic glow over fiery brilliance.
  • Style: Available in “antique” chunky cuts or modern modified cuts.
  • Character: Often described as soft, warm, and elegant.

Why Choose a Cushion Cut Diamond?

This cut is perfect for those who love antique glamour and timeless romance. It offers a sophisticated look without being overly traditional. Cushion cuts excel in halo designs, vintage-inspired bands, and bespoke settings that highlight their depth and charm.
