Cushion Cut Diamond Engagement Rings

Cushion cut diamond engagement rings are wonderful choices for engagement rings. The cushion cut diamond does look something like a cushion. It has rounded off corners and large facets that help the diamond sparkle with an uncommon brilliance.

How It Is Made

Cushion cut diamond engagement rings can have the diamond as a solitaire, which means it is mounted alone on the ring. The diamond can also be surrounded by smaller diamonds or other gems or can have smaller diamonds set either partially or completely around the band.

Looking for Quality

Like other diamonds, the diamonds in cushion cut diamond engagement rings are judged by their cut, clarity, color and carat weight. The cut is already diamond cut, and the carat depends on the bride's preference. The clarity refers to how many flaws or inclusions are in the diamond. Ideally, the diamonds in cushion cut diamond engagement rings should be “eye clean.” This means that a person cannot see any flaws just by looking at the diamond. Flaws should only be seen by a magnifying loupe.

Preferences

Most people prefer colorless or white diamonds for cushion cut diamond engagement rings. However, it is rare for a diamond to be completely colorless and most have a yellowish tint. Again, this should not be able to be seen with the naked eye. Colored or fancy diamonds can come in a surprising variety of colors that range from pale pink to black.

The ring will need to be sized for the bride’s finger. A good idea is to size it a bit larger than the finger as fingers tend to swell. Metals for the band can include white gold, platinum and palladium. Tungsten is also becoming a popular metal for engagement rings. The ring can be built after it has been sized and the metal and style chosen.
