A cushion cut engagement ring is the perfect choice for someone who wants the sparkle of a round brilliant but the unique, soft-edged silhouette of a square. Known as the "pillow cut," this shape has been a favorite for over 200 years. Today, lab-grown cushion cut engagement rings are experiencing a massive resurgence, blending 19th-century romance with 21st-century sustainability.
Why the Cushion Cut Diamond is a Modern Favorite
Exceptional Fire: While round diamonds are known for "brilliance" (white light), cushion cuts are famous for their "fire"—those mesmerizing flashes of rainbow color that dance when the stone catches the light.
Durability for Daily Wear: Because the corners are gently rounded, a cushion diamond engagement ring is less likely to chip or snag on clothing than shapes with sharp corners, like the princess or marquise cut.
Unbeatable Value: Cushion cuts are typically 25% to 50% more affordable than round diamonds of the same carat weight. This means you can secure a significantly larger center stone without increasing your budget.
"Crushed Ice" vs. "Brilliant" Cushion: Which is Your Style?
Not all cushion cuts are created equal. When browsing our collection, you'll notice two distinct personalities:
Cushion Brilliant: Features larger facets that create a look similar to a round diamond—crisp, bold flashes of light.
Crushed Ice: Features many tiny facets that shimmer like sparkling water or shattered glass. This style is excellent at hiding inclusions.
