What is a Cushion Cut

Gemstone

A cushion-cut gemstone is characterized by its square or rectangular shape with rounded corners, resembling a cushion or pillow. It is a hybrid cut, combining elements of both the round brilliant and old mine cuts. The cushion cut is celebrated for its ability to showcase a gemstone's color and clarity while offering a unique blend of sparkle and elegance.

History and Origins

The cushion cut has a rich history dating back to the 18th century when it was initially known as the "old mine cut." It gained popularity during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, adorning the jewelry of royalty and nobility. Today, cushion-cut gemstones continue to be a sought-after choice for engagement rings and other jewelry pieces.

The Anatomy of a Cushion Cut

Cushion cut gemstones feature large facets that create a distinctive play of light, emphasizing their brilliance. The cut typically has 58 facets, with variations like the modified cushion cut and the cushion brilliant cut. The rounded corners reduce the risk of chipping, making it a practical choice for everyday wear.
