What Makes Cushion Cuts So Captivating?

• Soft squared corners. A cushion’s rounded edges evoke heirloom charm while resisting snagging.

• Modified brilliant faceting. Extra facets bounce light around the stone’s center, delivering a delicious “crushed‑ice” sparkle.

• Versatile ratios. From perfectly square to elongated cushion ring proportions, there’s a profile to flatter every hand.

When the diamond is grown in a laboratory—atom by atom—the cut’s fire shines even brighter, freed from the inclusions often found in mined stones.

Elongated Cushion Craze

Searches for elongated cushion cut lab grown diamond ring designs have doubled year‑on‑year. Their flattering 1.10–1.25 length‑to‑width ratio elongates the finger, creating the illusion of a bigger carat weight. Add a hidden halo beneath the prongs (yes, the much‑pinned elongated cushion cut with hidden halo) and you elevate sparkle without distracting from the star of the show.
