How to Choose a Cushion Cut Diamond Ring

What Is a Cushion Cut Diamond?

A cushion cut diamond features a rounded square or rectangular outline with larger facets than most other shapes, giving it a soft, pillow-like appearance — which is where its name comes from. The cut traces its roots to the "old mine cut" diamonds of the 1800s, making it one of the most historically rich shapes available today. While cushion cut produces less intense brilliance than round brilliant cut, its larger facets create a warmer, more diffused sparkle often described as having a candlelit quality. This combination of vintage heritage and timeless romance has kept cushion cut consistently popular across generations of fine jewelry, and it pairs equally well with antique-inspired and contemporary ring settings.

Square vs. Elongated Cushion Cuts

Cushion cut diamonds come in two general proportions. A square cushion has a length-to-width ratio of roughly 1.00 to 1.05, giving it a balanced, classic appearance. An elongated cushion has a ratio of 1.10 or higher, creating a more rectangular silhouette that visually lengthens the finger — a style that has grown increasingly popular in recent years for its slightly more modern look. The same carat weight can appear quite different depending on which proportion you choose, so it's worth trying both in person before deciding which suits your preference and hand shape best.

Clarity and How It Looks

Because cushion cut diamonds have larger facets than round brilliant cut, inclusions can be slightly more visible under close inspection. We generally recommend VS1 to VS2 clarity for cushion cut diamonds, though our collection ranges from VS1 through SI1 — depending on inclusion placement, SI1 stones can still appear eye-clean. On color grade, cushion cut's softer light-handling characteristics mean G through I color diamonds often look just as beautiful as higher grades, making this shape a popular choice for buyers who want to allocate more of their budget toward carat weight or clarity rather than top color grades.

Metal and Carat Weight

We offer cushion cut diamond rings in 18K white gold, 18K yellow gold, and platinum (PT900). Yellow gold enhances cushion cut's vintage character, while white gold and platinum create a cleaner, more modern contrast. Our collection ranges from ¥430,000 (0.873ct SI1) to ¥1,250,000 (1.86ct VS2), with 0.8ct to 1.2ct being a particularly popular range for engagement rings. If you have questions about which proportion or budget combination suits you best, contact us or visit our office in Okachimachi.
