Buying guide

What a cushion cut looks like

A cushion cut has soft, rounded corners and large facets. It shows bold flashes of light and a warm, romantic look that sits between a round and a princess cut. Cushions can be square or slightly long, so the center you choose changes the ring's outline. The rounded corners also make the stone less likely to chip than a sharp-cornered shape.

Settings that suit a cushion center

  • Halo and hidden halo: a ring of lab-grown diamond accents around or below the center makes it look larger.
  • Solitaire: four or more prongs and a plain or pavé band keep the focus on the cushion.
  • Pavé and side stone: small accents along the band add sparkle on the shoulders.
  • Three stone: a center between two side stones, a classic pairing for cushions.
  • Vintage, floral and filigree: milgrain and openwork details suit the cushion's soft look.

Metal and price

Settings come in white, yellow and rose gold, in 10K, 14K or 18K. White gold makes a colorless center look brighter; yellow and rose gold give a warmer, vintage feel. Settings start at about $600, and most sit between about $1,000 and $1,350. That price is for the setting only; the center is priced when you choose it in the next step.

Cushion Cut Engagement Rings FAQs

What is a cushion cut engagement ring?

A cushion cut engagement ring holds a center stone with a square or slightly rectangular outline and rounded corners, like a pillow. Its large facets give broad flashes of light and a soft, vintage look. On this page you pick the setting style first, such as a halo, solitaire or three stone, then choose your cushion cut center in the next step.

Is a cushion cut diamond more expensive?

Usually not. A cushion cut diamond often costs less per carat than a round of similar quality, because cutting a cushion keeps more of the rough stone. It can cost more than a princess cut of the same weight. Here the setting is priced on its own, from about $600, and the center is priced when you choose it in the next step.

What are the disadvantages of cushion cut diamonds?

A cushion can look slightly smaller face-up than a round of the same carat weight, because more of its weight sits in its depth. Its large facets also show inclusions and color a little more than a brilliant round does. Choose a well-cut stone with good face-up size, and a halo setting if you want the center to look larger.

Cushion cut vs princess cut: which is better?

Neither is better; they differ in style. A cushion has rounded corners and broad flashes of light for a soft, romantic look. A princess is a sharp-cornered square with crisp, bright sparkle and a modern feel. The cushion's rounded corners are less prone to chipping, while a princess needs prongs that guard its points.

Are cushion cut diamonds out of style?

No. Cushion cuts have been popular for well over a century and remain a steady choice for engagement rings. Their rounded shape does have a vintage character, which suits milgrain, filigree and floral settings, but in a clean solitaire or hidden halo they look current. Both looks are available in this collection.
