Explore a Legacy of Elegance with Cushion-Cut Engagement Rings

The cushion cut, also known as the "pillow cut," boasts a rich history dating back to the 18th century. Its origins lie in the limitations of diamond-cutting techniques of the time. Early artisans utilised this brilliant cut to maximise the brilliance and fire from rough diamonds.

Over time, the cushion cut evolved, incorporating features from other cuts to enhance its sparkle. Today, the cushion cut remains a beloved choice for engagement rings, offering a touch of vintage elegance with a flash of modern brilliance.

The Allure of Cushion-Cut Diamonds

Unlike the sharp angles of a princess cut or the disk-shaped brilliance of a traditional round cut, the cushion cut boasts softened square corners. This creates a more romantic and vintage aesthetic, perfectly complementing a variety of engagement ring styles.

Despite its softer square shape, the modern cushion cut is meticulously crafted to deliver exceptional fire and brilliance. Each cushion-cut diamond possesses a unique faceting pattern, this subtle variation creates a mesmerising play of light and shadow – making every cushion-cut engagement ring one-of-a-kind.

Pairing Your Bespoke Cushion-Cut Diamond Ring with Stunning Settings

The captivating beauty of a cushion-cut diamond deserves a setting that complements its unique brilliance. At Solitaire Jewellery, we offer a diverse range of settings to create the perfect engagement ring that reflects your individual style. Ideal pairings for your cushion engagement ring include:

• Classic Solitaire: A timeless and elegant choice, the solitaire setting allows the cushion-cut diamond to take centre stage. The simplicity of the design highlights the stone's brilliance and soft, romantic silhouette.
• Halo Setting: For an extra touch of sparkle, a cushion engagement ring in a halo setting is encircled with smaller accent diamonds. This creates an illusion of a larger centre stone and adds a touch of glamour.
• Three-Stone Setting: Symbolise your past, present and future together with a three-stone setting. The cushion-cut diamond takes centre stage, flanked by two smaller diamonds, creating a balanced and elegant design.
• Bezel Setting: For a modern and secure design, consider a bezel setting. This setting encases the entire diamond, providing extra protection and a sleek, contemporary aesthetic.
