Buy Cushion Cut Engagement Rings

Cushion cut engagement rings have a long history as the traditional diamond cut. This old favorite, now considered a classic, never goes out of style.

A cushion cut, also known as a pillow cut engagement ring, has been around for nearly 200 years and is derived from old mine cut diamonds. The cushion cut evolved from an antique cut known as a "candlelight diamond" because of its broad facets, intended to shimmer in candlelight before electricity was used as a means of lighting.

A cushion cut ring is named after the square diamond shape with softly rounded corners that give them a pillow, or as the namesake implies, a cushion appearance. The soft, rounded edges imbue a gemstone with a sense of romance and opulence.

The Shape of Cushion Cut Rings

A critical aesthetic option in a cushion-cut diamond is whether you want it to be square or rectangular. Cushion engagement rings come in various proportions. Some are more long and narrow, and some are more circular. Though square gemstones are the most common shape, rectangle cushion cut engagement rings benefit from appearing larger than their carat weight.

When it comes to cushion cuts, the length-to-width ratio (L/W) is essential to consider.

The L/W ratio of square shapes should be between 1.00 and 1.05. Rectangular forms should be elongated considerably, but not excessively, with an L/W ratio of 1.15 to 1.20. When purchasing cushion cut engagement rings, try to avoid the ratios between 1.06 to 1.10.

Brilliance of Cushion Cut Rings

Cushion cut engagement rings have long been prized for their timeless beauty because their large facets enhance brilliance.

Cushions are divided into cushion brilliant and cushion-modified brilliant, leading to two distinct "looks.” These looks will change how they reflect light. Cushions with large back facets are affectionately referred to as "chunky."

Some cushion cut stones have back facets that aren’t as pronounced, giving them a “crushed ice” look. They produce a glittering effect with several tiny reflections throughout the gem.

Fire of Cushion Cut Rings

Though round diamonds offer the most brilliance, cushion cut engagement rings typically have more fire. The fire of a gemstone is represented through the colored sparkle produced as light passes through it.

Choosing settings such as cushion cut halo engagement rings will produce a dazzling effect that is hard to match.

Cushion cut engagement rings have become increasingly common in recent years, owing to their elegant pillow shape, which has one of the highest fires.

What Settings Work Well with Cushion Cuts?

Cushion cut diamond rings have a retro feel to them and fit a wide range of hand shapes and sizes. A single solitaire engagement ring or a cushion cut halo engagement ring offers you an opportunity to showcase the center gemstone.

A four-prong setting is the best choice for a cushion cut diamond (or gemstone) ring. This form of setting can tightly hold and protect cushion cut gems while not blocking light, allowing the cut's brilliance and fire to shine through the well-crafted facets.

Six-prong and double claw prong settings are sometimes used to hold longer, bigger, or more rectangular-shaped cushion cut diamonds and gemstones, but for the most part, a four-prong setting is sufficient.

Choosing a Band for Cushion Cut Rings

Cushion cut engagement rings can look stunning in every metal. Whether you’re looking for traditional and timeless yellow gold cushion cut engagement rings or more modern rose gold cushion cut halo engagement rings, this cut can enhance the beauty of any band.

Although the cut quality of a diamond or gemstone is the most critical factor in its appeal, you should also think about the diamond's color grade. Cushion shapes show more color than round brilliants, but their brilliance and dispersion help to conceal color.

If you desire white gold cushion cut engagement rings, you’ll want to choose a gemstone that is as near colorless as you can find. However, even if you’re on a budget, the brilliance showcased in a cushion cut can provide some leeway when choosing between white gold cushion cut engagement rings.

If the gemstone or diamond you're contemplating has some color to it, you can offset the hue by opting for a rose gold and yellow gold ring. The colors can be matched to create a unifying effect that brings out the best in both the gem and the band.

Only the most dazzling colorless Charles & Colvard Forever One Moissanites and our premier lab-produced Resplendent Moissanites are used in Gema&Co cushion cut engagement rings. Our jewelry is made entirely of the highest quality silver, 14k / 18k yellow gold, rose gold, and white gold mixtures.
