Cushion cut diamonds are always a popular choice for engagement rings for good reason. Their square or rectangle shape with rounded corners is soft and romantic and their cut shows off the diamond’s brilliance.

The Difference Between a Cushion Cut and Princess Cut Diamond

Since a cushion cut diamond has curved corners vs. the angular corners of a square princess cut diamond, the cushion cut diamond can work well in vintage settings and can appear softer and less modern. Cushion cut diamonds are cut with larger facets vs. a princess cut diamond, so each has a different overall look.

The Difference Between an Elongated Cushion Cut and Emerald Cut Diamond

An emerald cut diamond has an elongated, rectangular shape with blocked corners. It has a more geometric and often modern look than an elongated cushion cut diamond. An elongated cushion cut diamond is also rectangle but with softer, rounded corners.

Cushion Cut Diamond in Halo Setting or Solitaire

A cushion cut diamond solitaire engagement ring (with or without a hidden halo) focuses the attention on the beauty of the diamond.

Adding a cushion cut diamond to a halo engagement ring setting enhances the diamond and can make the diamond appear larger.

Cushion Cut Diamond in a Three Stone Setting

Cushion cut diamonds are a great choice for a three stone engagement ring. The two diamonds on each side of the diamond create a symmetrical look that enhances the beauty of the center diamond.
