About Cushion Cut Diamond Rings
The cushion cut diamond combines vintage charm with modern brilliance. Named for its pillow-like shape with softly rounded corners, this romantic cut has been cherished for over 200 years and continues to be a top choice for engagement rings.
Our cushion cut lab grown diamonds feature either classic cushion or modified cushion brilliant faceting, each offering exceptional fire and light return. The cushion's larger facets create bold flashes of light, while its rounded edges give it a softer, more romantic appearance than angular cuts like the princess or asscher.
Available in both square and elongated rectangular shapes, our cushion cut engagement rings suit every style preference. Choose from delicate solitaires, sparkling halo designs, or vintage-inspired settings. All rings are crafted in 14K gold, 18K gold, or platinum with IGI or GIA certified center stones.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between cushion brilliant and modified cushion cuts?
Classic cushion cuts have larger, chunkier facets producing bold flashes of light, while modified cushion cuts feature additional faceting similar to a round brilliant, creating finer crushed-ice sparkle. Compare with our radiant cut rings, which offer a similar hybrid brilliance.
Should I choose a square or elongated cushion cut?
Square cushion cuts offer a classic, timeless look similar to princess cut rings, while elongated cushions create a flattering finger-lengthening effect. For more elongated options, also explore our oval and emerald cut collections.
Do cushion cuts hide inclusions well?
Yes — the cushion cut's larger facets and crushed-ice sparkle help mask small inclusions, making it forgiving in lower clarity grades. Pair this excellent value with our halo or hidden halo settings for maximum sparkle and visual size.
