Cushion Cut Lab Grown Diamonds – Your Questions Answered
What is a cushion cut lab grown diamond? +
A cushion cut lab grown diamond is a square or rectangular diamond with rounded corners and soft edges, resembling a pillow shape. It combines vintage charm with modern brilliance and is grown using CVD or HPHT technology, sharing the same physical and chemical properties as mined cushion diamonds.
Why are cushion cut lab grown diamonds so popular? +
Cushion cuts offer a romantic, timeless look with excellent fire and sparkle. They are popular for engagement rings because they blend antique aesthetics with contemporary brilliance, making them suitable for both classic and modern ring settings.
Do cushion cut diamonds sparkle as much as round diamonds? +
Cushion cuts do not sparkle the same way as round brilliant diamonds, but they produce exceptional fire and soft, romantic flashes of light. Modern cushion cuts with brilliant-style faceting offer strong sparkle comparable to contemporary brilliant shapes.
What is the difference between cushion brilliant and cushion modified? +
Cushion brilliant diamonds use larger facets for bold flashes of light, while cushion modified diamonds have smaller facets that create a “crushed ice” sparkle. Both styles are beautiful, and the right choice depends on your preferred look.
Do cushion cut diamonds look bigger or smaller than other shapes? +
Cushion diamonds can appear slightly smaller than round or oval diamonds of the same carat weight due to deeper proportions. However, their soft edges and elegant shape give them strong visual presence and a luxurious feel.
Which length-to-width ratio is ideal for cushion cuts? +
Cushion diamonds are versatile. Ratios from 1.00 to 1.05 offer a square look, while ratios of 1.10 to 1.20 create a more elongated cushion shape. The ideal ratio depends on personal preference and ring design.
Which 4Cs matter most for cushion cut lab grown diamonds? +
Cut and colour matter the most. Cushion cuts can show colour more than rounds, so D–H colours are preferred. Clarity VVS–VS is ideal, although some SI stones with well-placed inclusions can still look eye-clean.
Are cushion cut diamonds good for engagement rings? +
Yes. Cushion cut diamonds are a favourite for engagement rings because they offer a blend of vintage romance and modern sparkle. They work beautifully in solitaire, halo, double halo, and vintage-inspired settings.
Which settings look best with cushion cut lab grown diamonds? +
Cushion cuts look stunning in halo settings, four-prong solitaires, cushion-shaped halos, antique styles, and pavé bands. They also pair well with side stones like tapered baguettes or half-moons.
Are cushion cut lab grown diamonds certified and easy to maintain? +
Yes. Cushion cut lab grown diamonds can be certified by IGI, GIA, and other global gemological laboratories. They are easy to maintain with gentle cleaning using warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush, along with periodic prong checks.
