The cushion cut, often called the “pillow cut,” is one of the most revered and timeless diamond cuts in the jewellery world. With its rounded corners and larger facets, this design maximises brilliance, giving it a distinctive luminosity.
For those seeking a diamond ring that blends historical charm with modern-day brilliance, the Cushion Cut is an impeccable choice for your setting. Its versatility and unique features make it an excellent choice for engagement rings and other fine jewellery.
The cost of diamonds, including Cushion Cut diamonds, is determined by combining the 4 Cs: Carat, Clarity, Colour, and Cut. Compared to other shapes like the Round Brilliant, Cushion-Cut diamonds are often less expensive per carat.
A Cushion diamond, with its unique blend of vintage charm and contemporary elegance, stands out for several reasons:
Both colour and clarity are significant factors for Cushion-Cut engagement rings, but their importance can vary based on personal preferences. Due to its larger facets, the cushion cut can reveal more colour than other shapes, making a higher colour grade potentially more desirable.
These same facets can sometimes hide inclusions better than other cuts, allowing for a slightly lower clarity grade without visible imperfections. Ultimately, the balance between colour and clarity will depend on individual priorities and budget considerations. Consult our trusted jeweller, who will guide the decision-making process when in doubt.
