They say that loving a woman and treating her right means giving her all that she desires. In most cases, all that a woman asks for is the love and care from her partner. However, a little diamond never hurt anybody, right? 

Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, and when it comes to cushion cut diamonds, oh boy! They all go crazy. That’s why you need to buy your girl a cushion cut diamond that can make her believe in love all over again. 

Here is our guide on finding the perfect cushion cut diamond for your lady. If you follow this when buying a cushion cut diamond, it’ll help you steal her heart and make her trust that your love is true.

 

What is a Cushion Cut Diamond?

It makes sense to know nothing about a cushion cut diamond if you’re someone who is not into jewelry at all. Well, let’s make things easier for you. Close your eyes and imagine yourself holding a diamond. What did you see? 

If you’re a part of the majority, you must have imagined a typical diamond stone – a square when viewed from above with round corners. However, when it comes to rings, these diamonds are usually cut into a square or rectangle – resembling a cushion.

 

Cushion Cut Diamond – Buying Guide 

Now that you’re clear on what a cushion cut diamond is, here are a few things to look out for to help you buy the best cushion cut diamond out of all.  

  1. Length to width ratio (L/W)

You can get a cushion cut diamond in either a square or rectangular shape. While the former is more common, the latter looks more prominent and more elaborate.

However, the choice you make between these two must not be based on how big the diamond looks or what shape you like. Rather it should be based on the length to width ratio of a diamond. If chosen correctly, this ratio can automatically make a diamond look more appealing and aesthetic. 

The three main points to remember when looking for the perfect cushion cuts are:

  • The L/W for a rectangular diamond should fall anywhere between 1.15 and 1.20
  • The L/W for a square-shaped diamond should fall anywhere between 1 and 1.05
  • Try to not go for a L/W between 1.06 and 1.10. It neither makes the diamond look square nor rectangular, and you end up with an awkward and weirdly shaped diamond.
  1. Color

Cushion cut diamonds are famous for retaining their diamond color, which happens because of their shape. When buying a diamond ring, always go for a high color grade to get the stone to be the exact color you want.

It is better to go for H color grading because it’ll make sure that the color you chose is apparent. You can also pick a white gold or platinum base so that the color looks good. 

  1. Clarity

The tricky shape of a cushion cut makes it important to go for a good clarity grade. Generally, SI2 and SI1 are the most recommended by experts.

 

Conclusion

It wouldn’t be wrong to call the cushion cut the most common diamond shape when it comes to rings. Even though the cushion cut is an old cut, it seems hard for this diamond shape to ever go out of vogue.

This is also why you need to be careful when purchasing a cushion cut diamond. Since the shape of all these diamonds is the same, you’ll have to make sure the cushion cut you choose stands out in some other way – such as color.
