Cushion Cut Engagement Rings

Cushion cut styles are in vogue. We will show a few of our recent cushion cut designs here (we have many more in the engagement ring categories of our web site)

Cushion cut diamonds can have very different looks… and here is why:

(1) Cushion cut diamonds come in many different shapes (outlines) ranging from rectangular to square and everything in between.

(2) Cushion cut diamonds will also have many various looks based on how rounded the corners of the stone are, making for many very unique looks.

(3) Cushion cut diamonds can have different faceting patterns which makes for a wide variety of possible looks that are all classified as ‘cushion cut’

This design is from our hand cut micro pave collection and it features  a cushion cut center diamond with micro pave diamond halo. This design is hand cut in Platinum only which allows the master diamond setters to maximize the size of diamonds used in the design
