Cushion Natural Diamonds

The cushion cut combines a square or rectangular outline with softly rounded corners, a shape that has been popular for well over a century. Modern "cushion modified" cuts give a lively, crushed-ice sparkle, while classic cushions show larger, chunkier flashes of light.

Cushions tend to show body colour slightly more than rounds, so many buyers go one grade higher in colour. Their rounded corners also make them a durable, practical choice for everyday rings.
