Cushion Cut Engagement Rings

The cushion cut diamond has been around for nearly 200 years. This classic cut has always been popular, but within the first century of its appearance, it was the most popular diamond shape around.

Cushion cut diamonds are cut in a square but have soft rounded corners. While cushion cut diamonds do not sparkle as much as round cut diamonds, they have larger facets, which make them appear larger when viewed from above. Just because they might not have the ultimate sparkle like a round cut diamond, it does not mean they don’t have their own wonderful shine.

Cushion cut diamond engagement rings are classic, elegant, and can appear either modern or vintage. They are easily customizable to your taste and personality, and the cushion cut diamond will take any setting to the next level.
