Cushion Cut Diamonds:
A Blend of History, Artistry, and Timeless Appeal
The cushion cut diamond is a timeless choice that blends vintage charm with modern sophistication. Known for its soft, rounded corners and brilliant facets, the cushion cut has remained a favorite for centuries. Its romantic silhouette and exceptional sparkle make it a standout option for engagement rings and heirloom-inspired designs.
Originating from the 18th-century old mine cut, the cushion cut has evolved significantly over time. Today’s cushion-cut diamonds feature improved symmetry, enhanced brilliance, and optimized light performance. This modern refinement elevates the cushion cut while preserving its antique roots.
Cushion cuts are available in a variety of styles, including the classic brilliant cut and the more intricate modified cushion cut. Whether you prefer a square or elongated shape, the cushion cut offers versatility and elegance, making it a popular choice for those who value both tradition and individuality.
