What is a Cushion Cut Engagement Ring?

So what is a cushion cut engagement ring? Specifically, what does the phrase “cushion cut” mean?

A cushion cut stone was once referred to as an old mine cut. It essentially combines a square cut with rounding out the corners of the stone. This is why is it is called the cushion cut, as it looks kind of like the shape of a pillow once it is done.

This traditional, classic cut has been around for about 200 years and was the most popular diamond shape for the first 100 years after it had become a trend. Up until the early 20th century, this was the cut to have on your diamond.

This cut traditionally returns light in a much chunkier pattern than a modern cut would. When it is combined with the enlarged culet, it is highly desired among antique dealers today.

Over the years, a lot of refinements have been made to cushion cut stones. Enlarging the table, shrinking the culet, and improving cut angles for better brilliance, among other things, have all contributed to making the cut more popular again. Because it offers such an antique feel, many buyers are finding this cut to be a great choice.

The standards for this cut vary more than other designs, and a lot of the choices are based on personal taste. These stones are mostly less brilliant than round brilliant diamonds, but a lot of the time they have better fire, which is part of their appeal.

Our Favorite Cushion Cut Engagement Rings

Here are some of our favorite cushion cut engagement rings.

Forevermark Black Label Cushion Halo Twist Engagement Ring

The first cushion cut engagement ring on our list is the Black Label Cushion Halo Twist.

This dazzling ring was perfectly designed to show off a gorgeous Forevermark Black Label diamond that has been cut into that attractive cushion shape. It is 0.50 carats, and the metal used is rose gold.

We love the twisted design of the ring encrusted in small diamonds, especially how it frames the cushion cut diamond – this creates a gorgeous focal point for the ring. This piece of jewelry is sure to look incredible on any finger and will be a great symbol of your lasting love.

This ring can be purchased starting at $3,799.00.

We are giving this ring 5/5 stars. It is beautiful, incredibly well made, and still very affordable.

De Beers Yellow Aura Cushion Cut Ring

Our next piece of jewelry is the De Beers Yellow Aura Cushion Cut Ring.

If you are looking for something with a little more color, this may be the ring for you. This engagement ring features a gorgeous cushion-cut yellow diamond, that is said to have been meticulously hand-selected for the jewelry. The stone is mounted in 18K yellow gold and platinum, and is surrounded by a border of diamond pavé.

The jewelry ranges from Fancy Yellow to Fancy Intense Yellow, and the carat weight also ranges from 0.50CTs up to 1.29CTs.

Pricing begins at $8,000.00 and, of course, varies depending on the carat weight that you choose for your ring.

We give this ring 4 out of 5 stars. While it is an extremely high-quality ring with a lot of great features, the yellow diamond may not be for everybody.

Single Stone “Ella” Diamond Ring

Next up we have this gorgeous cushion cut diamond ring from Single Stone.

This ring features a 1.56 K/VS2 EGL-certified cushion cut diamond set in a gorgeous platinum mounting that has been handcrafted.

We love this beautiful, intricate design. The twisted gold band is studded with beautiful diamonds throughout, and makes a great setting for the large cushion cut stone in the middle. The whole design has a delightfully vintage look, and would make a great accessory for your left hand.

This ring can be purchased for $15,000.00, which you can pay for through the website if you want to.

We give this ring 4.5 out of 5 stars. We love the gorgeous gold band that twists around the finger, the diamond setting, and how vintage it is. The only reason for knocking off half of a star is simply that this design may look a little too vintage for some.

Ring Concierge Cushion Cut 3 Stone Engagement Ring

Another favorite of ours is this lovely Ring Concierge Bridal Ring.

This ring has three separate large stones set into it. The largest of the three in the middle is the cushion cut diamond, and the two on either side of it are half moon cut diamonds.

You have a lot of say in the qualities of the diamonds, as well as the carat weights. The center stone can also be switched to a yellow diamond if you prefer. As for the side stones, if you don’t want the half moon diamonds, they can be switched to epaulette or trapezoid.

The setting is also available in either platinum or gold.

The pricing for this ring starts at $12,000, and goes up depending on the choice of stones, quality of diamonds, and the carat weight.

We give this ring 4.5 out of 5 stars. It is gorgeous, and you are given so many choices for how you want it to look. We took off half of a star simply because the pricing does get rather steep, depending on how you want the ring made.

Kwiat Cushion Diamond Engagement Ring

If you are looking for a simpler design that will still dazzle, this cushion cut engagement ring may be a perfect choice.

This is a great ring for those who really want to have more of a say in how it looks. To find out the pricing and to purchase your jewelry, the company communicates with you to make sure you get exactly what you want.

The basics of this ring are pretty standard, however. You get a cushion solitaire diamond set in 18k rose gold. This setting is called the Kwiat Setting, and is stunningly beautiful yet very simple. It gives the wearer the illusion that the diamond is just floating weightlessly above their finger.

We love this ring, and our final rating is going to be 4 out of 5. This ring is classic, beautiful, and made very well. It may be too simple of a design for some, but for those who want a more traditional look, this is perfect.

Trumpet & Horn Claire Pettibone Couture Collection Byzantine Diamond Ring

This next ring is definitely an eye-catcher. The Trumpet & Horn Claire Pettibone Couture Collection Byzantine Diamond Ring is incredibly unique and beautiful.

Each ring is very meticulously handcrafted in Los Angeles, and is made from incredibly precious, rare, and ethically sourced gemstones and high-quality metals.

This particular ring, is able to be customized with the center stone of your choosing. You can even request for a family heirloom stone to be placed in the ring.

If you go with the standard Byzantine design, you get an 18k rose gold ring that features a gorgeous 2.46cts EGL-certified cushion cut diamond. The stone has a graded H color and VS2 clarity.

We really like the setting of this stone, which is tilted with four talon prongs. The center diamond is then surrounded by a halo of twenty bezel set diamonds, which adds an additional 0.25ct weight to the ring.

This ring gets a 4.8 out of 5 stars. It is stunningly beautiful and unique, and we love that it is handcrafted. We took off .2 of a star simply because you aren’t able to see how much it is, because it is currently sold out.

SuzanneKalan 18K Yellow Gold Champagne Topaz Cushion Cut Ring

The last ring on our list is the stunning Su˚zanneKalan 18K Yellow Gold Champagne Topaz Cushion Cut Ring.

This beautiful jewelry is a ring of pave set white diamonds, which have a total weight of 0.30 carats. The center is a cushion cut champagne topaz. The metal choice is up to you, you can choose between yellow, white, and rose gold.

This ring is also one of the most affordable choices on the list. You can purchase this item for $1800.00. For the most part, this price to do with the center stone set in the ring. It is not nearly as expensive as a large diamond, however, it is still an absolutely gorgeous ring.

We would give this ring a 4 out of 5 stars. It is high quality and gorgeous. We took off a star simply because the champagne topaz may not be what every woman wants for their engagement ring.

Our Final Thoughts

While we love every single beautiful ring on this list, our absolute favorite would have to go to the Black Label Cushion Halo Twist Engagement Ring. We love that it is still somewhat affordable, even for how high its quality is. Your final ring choice should be up to your personal preference, however.

Also keep in mind that while having a gorgeous engagement ring is a wonderful part of the process, it is more important to have someone you love there giving it to you. We know that as long as it is coming from the right person, any ring will be amazing.
