Cushion Cut Engagement Rings

Cushion cut engagement rings feature a softly squared centre with rounded corners. The outline is distinct from the sharper geometry of a princess cut, and individual cushions can vary in their faceting and proportions. Compare the actual centre stone rather than assuming every cushion has the same appearance.

Choosing the outline and setting

A solitaire makes the rounded corners easy to appreciate, while a halo adds a border around the cushion shape. Shoulder details and trilogy settings create a different balance across the finger. Check the stone's length and width, the band proportions and how the claws frame the corners.

Stone colour and material

Cushion describes a shape, not a diamond colour. Our classic lab grown diamond rings focus on the colourless diamond look. The coloured lab grown diamond collection offers pink, blue, green and yellow alternatives. Natural diamonds, moissanite and other gemstones are distinct choices, identified in each product specification.

Is a cushion the same as an elongated cushion?

They share rounded corners, but an elongated cushion has a more rectangular outline. We provide a separate elongated cushion category so the two silhouettes can be compared more clearly.

Does carat weight show how large it will look?

Carat weight alone does not tell you the face-up dimensions. Compare the listed length and width as well as the depth and setting. Two stones of similar weight can present differently within their rings.
