Frequently Asked Questions

Why are cushion cut engagement rings so popular with modern couples?

A cushion is a square or rectangle with rounded corners and softly curved sides, and that softness is the entire appeal. It gives you a geometric shape without hard edges, which suits people who find a princess too severe and a round too expected. It also has genuine vintage credibility, since the old mine cut it descends from was the dominant diamond shape of the nineteenth century, so it sits naturally in antique inspired settings. Cushions come in two very different facet styles, chunky and crushed ice, which is worth knowing before you shop. Our collection here is small and deliberately chosen.

What is the deeper meaning behind a cushion cut diamond ring?

Softened strength is what most couples land on: a solid, four-sided shape with every corner rounded off, which is a fair image for a partnership that holds firm without being rigid. The pillow like outline gives it a domestic, comfortable association that people genuinely respond to. Its descent from the old mine cut also lends it a sense of inheritance, of belonging to a longer line of rings. None of this is prescribed tradition. Most of our cushion customers choose it because it looks warm rather than sharp, and warm is a perfectly good thing to want from a ring.

Are cushion cut diamonds cheaper than round cut rings?

Yes, generally, at the same carat weight. A cushion retains more of the original rough crystal than a round brilliant does, and round remains far and away the most requested shape, so both factors bring the price down. Cushions also tend to carry decent depth, which means some carat weight sits below the surface rather than spreading across your finger, so compare millimeter dimensions rather than weight alone when you are judging value. Loose diamond prices change constantly so it’s challenging quoting a percentage between the two shapes, however check out our ring builder as it shows both shapes at live prices side by side.

Do cushion cut engagement rings chip easily during daily wear?

Cushions are one of the safer fancy shapes precisely because the corners are rounded rather than pointed. There is no thin, exposed tip the way a marquise or princess has, so the everyday risk is low. Diamond is the hardest material used in jewelry, and what actually causes damage is a hard direct impact, not routine wear. Standard prongs on the corners are sufficient; no special V-prongs are required. Have the prongs checked annually under magnification, take the ring off for the gym and heavy work, and a cushion will handle daily life about as well as a round.

How do you pick the right length to width ratio for a cushion ring?

Two families to choose between. Ratios from 1.00 to 1.09 give you a square cushion, the classic pillow shape, which is what most people picture when they hear the word. Ratios from about 1.15 to 1.30 give an elongated cushion, which stretches the finger, looks larger for its carat weight, and has become increasingly requested. The elongated version reads more contemporary, while the square reads more vintage. Neither is more correct. They look genuinely different on the hand, so come try both in the showroom rather than judging from online photos, which compress the distinction almost entirely.

What is the best way to clean my cushion diamond ring at home?

Soak the ring twenty minutes in warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap, then brush the underside of the stone with a soft toothbrush. Cushions have a large pavilion with a lot of facet surface underneath, and that is precisely where lotion, sunscreen, and soap collect and where light needs to enter. Crushed ice cushions in particular go flat looking when dirty, because their sparkle depends on many small facets all staying clear. Rinse with the drain closed and dry with a lint free cloth. Avoid bleach, chlorine, and acetone. Twice a year bring it in for an ultrasonic clean and a prong check.

Can I customize a cushion cut setting with unique side stones?

Yes, and cushions are unusually flexible because they suit both vintage and modern treatments. Half moon or trapezoid sides sit flush against the rounded edges and read wide and substantial. Tapered baguettes lean Art Deco. A halo following the cushion outline is a natural fit and makes the stone look considerably larger, and hidden halos work well too. For a vintage feel, milgrain edges and an engraved gallery suit this shape better than almost any other. Metal is your choice in fourteen and eighteen karat white, yellow, and rose gold, or platinum. Most settings are made to order, so bring us your idea and we’ll make it happen.

How do you choose between a chunky and crushed ice cushion diamond?

This is the most important decision about a cushion, and almost nobody knows to ask it. A chunky cushion has larger, well-defined facets that return light in bold, distinct flashes, closer to what you would expect from a round brilliant. A crushed ice cushion has many small facets that scatter light into a shimmering, granular glitter, which some people find magical and others describe as looking slushy. Neither is a quality defect, and no certificate distinguishes them. You simply have to look at the two side by side in mixed lighting. Come in and we will show you both. It takes about a minute to know which one is yours
