Cushion Cut Diamonds
Before round brilliant cut diamonds were developed, cushion cut diamonds were the most popular diamond shape. Now, cushion cut diamonds are making a huge comeback because of their elegant style, incredible sparkle, and great value. This design combines a rectangular or square shape with round corners, creating a soft and romantic feel. The open shape of the table and many facets of the pavilion display a tremendous amount of sparkle and shine, making these cuts one of the most brilliant available. As popular as cushion cut diamonds are, they can be slightly confusing to shop for because there are several variations. We’ll break it down for you here so you know the exact type of cushion cut diamond you desire.Types of Cushion Cut Diamonds
- Cushion brilliant cut: similar faceting arrangement as round brilliant cut diamonds; facets extend from the center of the diamond, resembling a star
- Modified cushion brilliant cut: contains an extra row of facets just below the girdle, resembling a flower
- Chunky cushion cut: clearly defined facet patterns when looking down into the table of a face-up oriented diamond
- Broken glass/crushed ice cushion cut: no discernible faceting when looking through the table; all you can see is what looks like broken glass or crushed ice- a disorganized space of sparkle
