Cushion-cut diamonds are special for a few reasons. Their unique shape, with a square or rectangular outline and rounded corners, sets them apart from other diamond shapes giving them a distinctive and eye-catching appearance. Secondly, cushion-cut diamonds possess exceptional brilliance and fire due to their unique facet pattern, which maximizes the reflection and refraction of light. This results in a stunning display of sparkle and scintillation. Next to round-cut diamonds, cushion-cut diamonds are probably the brightest shape. Additionally, cushion-cut diamonds offer a perfect balance between classic and contemporary styles, making them a versatile choice that complements various engagement ring settings.

The cost of a cushion-cut diamond can vary depending on various factors, such as the quality of the diamond’s cut, clarity, colour, and carat weight. In general, cushion-cut diamonds are not inherently more expensive than other diamond shapes. The price of a diamond is primarily determined by its overall quality and the “Four Cs” (cut, clarity, colour, and carat weight). So, while cushion-cut diamonds can be found at a wide range of price points, the cost is ultimately determined by the specific characteristics and attributes of the individual diamond rather than its shape alone. It is always recommended to consult with a reputable jeweller or diamond expert to understand the pricing factors in detail.

When buying a cushion-cut diamond, there are several key factors to consider:

Cut: Look for a well-cut cushion diamond that maximizes its brilliance and fire. Pay attention to the proportions, symmetry, and overall craftsmanship of the cut.

Clarity: Consider the clarity of the diamond, which refers to the presence of any internal or external flaws (inclusions or blemishes). Aim for a diamond with a clarity grade that is eye-clean, meaning any imperfections are not visible to the naked eye.

Colour: Assess the colour grade of the diamond. While cushion-cut diamonds can hide colour better than some other shapes, it’s still important to choose a diamond with a colour grade that suits your preferences. The scale ranges from D (colourless) to Z (light yellow or brown).

Carat Weight: Determine the carat weight of the diamond based on your personal preference and budget. Consider how the size of the diamond will appear on your finger.

Remember, it’s advisable to consult with a knowledgeable jeweller or diamond expert who can guide you through the purchasing process and help you find the best cushion-cut diamond within your budget and preferences.
