Cushion Cut Lab-Grown Diamond Engagement Rings
Our cushion cut lab-grown diamonds blend vintage charm with modern ethics. The soft, rounded square shape with large facets creates a distinctive "crushed ice" brilliance.
Why Cushion Cuts?
✓ Vintage Appeal: 19th-century romantic aesthetic
✓ Unique Sparkle: Chunkier, more distributed brilliance
✓ Weight Retention: Hides weight in the pavilion
✓ Ethical Origin: Created in zero-impact labs
What's the difference between modified and standard cushion cuts?
Modified cushions have more facets (like "crushed ice"), while traditional cushions show clearer facet patterns.
Why choose a cushion cut over other diamond shapes?
Cushion cuts offer a perfect blend of vintage charm and modern brilliance:
- "Crushed Ice" Sparkle: Larger facets create dramatic flashes unlike any other cut (compare to 58 facets in rounds vs. 64 in modified cushions)
- Weight Retention: Deeper pavilion means more carat weight is visible face-up (a 1 carat cushion appears 15% larger than a 1 carat round)
- Comfort Fit: Rounded corners won’t snag on fabrics – ideal for healthcare workers or active lifestyles
- Celebrity Approved: The #1 choice for vintage-inspired engagement rings
Do cushion cut diamonds look smaller than round brilliants?
They face-up slightly smaller than rounds but make up for it in unique light performance.
hat’s the difference between "crushed ice" and standard cushion cuts?
We categorize cushions by facet pattern:
1. Traditional Cushion (Old Mine Cut)
- 58 larger facets
- Distinct "checkerboard" pattern
- Warmer, vintage glow
2. Modified Brilliant Cushion
- 64-72 facets
- "Crushed ice" scintillation
- 30% more sparkle than traditional
3. Hybrid Cushion
- Mixed facet patterns
- Combines fire of brilliant with vintage appeal
How do I evaluate a cushion cut’s quality?
1. Cut (Most Important)
- Avoid "bow-tie" effects (we reject 92% of cushions for this)
- Ideal table %: 58-62%
2. Color
- Premium Color Range
D-E-F (Colorless): Our standard for all cushions - no need to pay extra for "whiter" grades
G-H (Near Colorless): Virtually identical to colorless in cushion cuts due to facet pattern
- Why Higher Colors Matter Less
Controlled Growth: No nitrogen impurities that cause yellow tints in mined diamonds
Facet Advantage: Cushion cuts naturally mask color better than step-cuts (like emerald)
Real-World Viewing: 97% of customers can’t distinguish D-F from G-H in our side-by-side tests
3. Clarity
- SI1 acceptable (facets mask inclusions)
- Cloud avoidance protocol
4. Certification
- IGI "Excellent" cut grade required
- Laser inscription verification
