Cushion cut diamonds date back to the 18th century. They were originally called “mine cut” stones, after miners would cut their diamonds by hand. Over the centuries and years, the cushion cut rose in popularity, not only for diamonds but for other precious stones too. This is largely due to the fact that the cushion cut showcases a stone’s colour to its maximum sparkle.
As cushion cut stones were used in many engagement ring designs during this time, they naturally possess a vintage feel today. Therefore, for any bride-to-be with a classic or alternative sense of style, a cushion cut ring is instantly eye-catching.
A cushion cut diamond is characterised by its soft edges which sit perfectly between the shape of a square and a more rounded design.
This style of stone has become one of the most classic and recognisable cuts, it's many facets help create a stone with an impressive level of brilliance, while it also remains sophisticated due to its unique design.
Cushion cuts are also very versatile, enabling brides-to-be, or their partners, to choose a ring which covers off on all their criteria. For instance, cushion cuts can take on the more traditional round shape, or a more contemporary square form and it is possible to find more elongated cushion cut stones which flatter all dimensions of fingers and hands.
