Characteristics of Cushion Cut Rings
There are many aspects of a ring that affect the appearance, and none as much as the cut of the ring. The cushion cut is a beautiful choice, offering a square cut stone that has gently rounded corners that create the effect of a soft pillow. While the cut works in just about any style and setting, it looks particularly elegant in antique and vintage settings, giving it a wistful, romantic appeal. The cut is historically quite popular, making a name for itself with the Hope Diamond and Regent Diamond. Today’s designers appreciate the aesthetic of this delicate cut, offering many beautiful styles in their beautiful collections. For those who want a classic ring with a classic stone, a cushion cut may be perfect.
Popular Cushion Cut Ring Collections
Simon G. creates elegant cushion cut rings in collections that feature incredible artistry and attention to detail. The Passion collection offers stunning designs that incorporate this delicate diamond cut into bold, luxurious engagement rings. The occasional mixed-metal accent, pink diamond center stone, and emerald-cut side stone creates a vintage flair that gives these beauties a rare quality and creates a sense of romance and noir mystery. The Classic Romance collection takes timeless silhouettes and adds a depth of unmatched style. Delicate femininity is the theme with these thin, dainty bands marked by swirling shanks that intertwine gracefully.
Additional Cushion Cut Ring Collections
Tacori exhibits their signature romance and mastery of craft in collections like Sculpted Crescent. Subtly decorated with their hallmark feature, a soft crescent-shape embedded into the band, these pieces feature the perfect combination of contemporary edge and subtle romance. Christopher Designs creates rings that incorporate founder Christopher Slowinski’s engineering experience and knowledge of light refraction, resulting in awe-inspiring collections like Crisscut Cushion. These glamorous pieces showcase a patented Crisscut diamond that has 77 crisscrossed facets, reflecting the dazzling fire and light at the core of the stone. Rings featuring a brilliant Crisscut are even more remarkable with an impressive 109 facets.
