This modern proportioned stone is based on a very common shape that was cut for many years... an Old Mine Cut. Cushion Cut diamonds have a classic look and definitely stand out from the crowd of other diamond shapes. They are a great alternative to the sharp, angular shapes of the Princess Cut diamonds and the Asscher Cut diamonds. Instead Cushion Cut diamonds offer a square or rectangular shape with a softer look! These come in various shapes... almost square- 1.0-1.05 to 1, to very rectangular- 1.30-1.40 to 1. There isn't a correct ratio for this cut, it tends to be a personal preference. - Important Take Away Points - Cushion Cut Diamonds #1- There aren't a ton of these diamonds available. It's a great looking shape and if you look around you should be able to find a nice stone. #2- Watch for those thick girdles! The girdle should be just thick enough to protect the diamond from chipping and should be no thicker. Anything more than a slightly thick girdle is just adding additional weight.
