What Is a Cushion Cut Diamond?
The cushion cut diamond is a square or rectangular brilliant-cut diamond featuring softly rounded corners and gently curved edges. Typically featuring between 58 and 64 facets, cushion diamonds are designed to deliver impressive fire, brilliance, and light performance while maintaining their distinctive pillow-like shape.
With origins dating back more than two centuries, the cushion cut is one of the oldest diamond shapes still widely used today. Its enduring popularity comes from its ability to blend classic elegance with contemporary brilliance.

How to Choose the Best Cushion Cut Lab Grown Diamond
Choose Your Preferred Shape
Cushion diamonds are available in both square and rectangular proportions. Square cushions offer a traditional appearance, while rectangular cushions create a slightly elongated look that can make the diamond appear larger.
Understand Faceting Styles
Cushion cut diamonds are commonly available in two primary faceting styles. Classic or chunky cushions feature larger facets that create bold flashes of light, while crushed ice cushions feature smaller facets that produce a glittering sparkle. Both styles are beautiful and largely come down to personal preference.
Prioritize Symmetry and Polish
Since cushion diamonds do not receive an official cut grade, symmetry and polish become important indicators of quality. Excellent or Very Good grades help maximize brilliance and overall visual appeal.
Select Color and Clarity Carefully
For many buyers, E–F color and VS1–VS2 clarity offer an excellent balance of beauty and value. These diamonds appear bright, white, and eye-clean while remaining more affordable than the highest color and clarity grades.
