Cushion Cut Diamond: Vintage Romance with Brilliant Sparkle | RR Jewellery

The Cushion Diamond – Soft Shapes, Deep Sparkle

The cushion cut diamond , also known as a cushion or pillow cut, is one of the most romantic cuts. They feature ample, softly rounded corners with a square or slightly rectangular base and feature deep facets that reflect light in a warm, sparkling way.

This cut has been around for over 200 years and was once called “mine cut”. Today it is popular with those who love a graceful design with a classic look and modern flair.

Why choose a cushion cut diamond?

  • Soft, romantic look: rounded corners create a rectangular silhouette.

  • Deep brilliance: the larger facets create a warm and sparkling glow.

  • Versatile shape: available in both square and elongated versions.

The cushion cut is known for its vintage feel with a modern play of light — ideal for those looking for the best of both worlds.

The most beautiful settings for cushion diamonds

The unique shape of the cushion cut comes to life beautifully in settings that transcend its character:

💍 Solitaire setting – romantic in simplicity

A cushion diamond in a solitaire ring exudes rust and elegance. Deep rounded corners create a soft look without sacrificing brilliance.

✨ Halo setting – even more romance and shine

A halo of small diamonds frames the stone and enhances the vintage feel. This makes the stone appear larger and gives an extra sparkling edge.

🔲 Bezel setting – soft and protective

A smooth finish follows the contours of the cushion cutout, offering both style and protection. Ideal for everyday use with a refined finish.

🌟 Split pavé band shaft – precise details

A split band or a pavé band set with small diamonds adds extra luxury and completes the look.

What does the cushion cut symbolize?

The cushion cut represents love, softness and loyalty to classic beauty . It is a shape that evokes emotion and is often chosen for jewelry with meaning — engagement rings, heirlooms or personal milestones.

Conclusion – Vintage charm with modern class

The cushion diamond is loved for its romantic look and rich sparkle. They are perfect for a soft, feminine style and radiate warmth in any design.
