About Cushion Cut
The cushion cut diamond, revered for its soft edges and romantic appeal, melds the best aspects of vintage charm with modern brilliance.

With its deep facets, the cushion cut excels in capturing and reflecting light, creating a mesmerizing dance of sparkle and fire.
Tracing its origins back to the early 19th century, the cushion cut was once known as the "old mine cut."

Diamond Colors
Blue
Titanic as the sky-blue heavens above, infinite peace, calmness, and devotion stretch beyond the end of the world, just like blue diamonds. For most blue diamonds, their color is due to trace amounts of the element boron, which substitutes for some of the carbon atoms in the diamond's crystal lattice.
Yellow
Just as the warm sunlight nurtures life, the flash of golden yellow hue evokes gleams of cheerfulness and curiosity, adding depth to the diamond that catches the eye. Yellow diamonds’ unique color comes from the presence of nitrogen in their composition. Depending on the amount of nitrogen, the color intensity will range from light to dark.
Pink
Pink diamonds are often worn by celebrities as they are the altitude of luxury and are extremely rare. This romantic shade comes from a distortion of the diamond’s crystal structure, though the exact cause of the color remains a mystery. Representing the color of love, happiness, and delight, pink diamonds are a uniquely beautiful choice.
Colored Lab-grown Diamond Specifications
Our fancy-colored diamonds are mostly grown to order.
The process takes 2-4 extra weeks to complete and charges an extra fee of 60%. Colored diamonds (other than black) are guaranteed to be Fancy Light, Fancy, Fancy Intense, Fancy Vivid, Fancy Dark, or Fancy Deep. Clarity and cut grade are not guaranteed due to the nature of customized production.

FAQ
About cushion cut lab grown diamonds
To enhance the appearance of cushion cut lab-grown diamonds, certain ring settings are particularly effective:
-
Halo Setting: Encircles the cushion cut diamond with smaller diamonds, magnifying its size and brilliance while adding a layer of sophistication.
-
Pavé Setting: Features a band set with tiny diamonds that lead the eye to the center stone, increasing the overall sparkle and making the cushion cut stand out.
-
Solitaire Setting: Puts the focus solely on the cushion cut diamond, emphasizing its unique shape and facets. A simple band can make the diamond appear larger and more prominent.
-
Bezel Setting: Surrounds the diamond with a thin metal frame, protecting its edges and enhancing its shape. This setting can also make the cushion cut diamond appear bigger by highlighting its dimensions.
These settings not only secure the diamond but also complement its shape and cut, enhancing the visual impact of cushion cut lab-grown diamonds.
For cushion cut lab-grown diamonds, finding a balance between cost and visual appeal in color and clarity is key:
-
Color Grade: I-J color grades are ideal for cushion cut lab diamonds, offering a good compromise between cost and a colorless look. These grades provide a nearly colorless appearance that complements the cushion cut's soft glow, especially when set in warmer-colored metals.
-
Clarity Choice: SI1-SI2 clarity levels are well-suited for cushion cut lab diamonds. These grades often present an eye-clean look, where inclusions are invisible to the naked eye from a normal viewing distance. This choice maximizes value by focusing on what is visibly important.
Opting for I-J color and SI1-SI2 clarity in a cushion cut lab-created diamond maximizes both the visual impact and cost-efficiency. This strategy enables buyers to enjoy the beauty and charm of a cushion cut diamond while adhering to a budget-conscious approach.
Cushion cut lab-grown diamonds are highly suitable for engagement rings for several reasons:
-
Timeless Appeal: They offer a classic look that combines the brilliance of modern cutting techniques with the soft, romantic shapes of antique diamonds.
-
Versatility in Design: Cushion cuts complement a wide range of settings and styles, from vintage to contemporary, ensuring there’s a design that suits every taste.
-
Unique Sparkle: The cushion cut's unique facet pattern creates a distinctive sparkle that stands out from the more common round brilliant cuts, offering a unique aesthetic appeal for an engagement ring.
-
Flattering Effect: The rounded corners and soft shape of the cushion cut can have a flattering effect on the hand, making it a favored choice for many.
-
Eco-Friendly Choice: Being lab-grown, these diamonds are a sustainable option, appealing to environmentally conscious couples.
When choosing a cushion cut lab-grown diamond, consider the following factors:
-
Cut Quality: Focus on the precision and symmetry of the cut, as it greatly influences the diamond's brilliance and fire.
-
Ratio: Decide on the length-to-width ratio that appeals to you; closer to 1 for a square shape, or higher for a more rectangular appearance.
-
Clarity: Given the large facets, selecting a diamond with a higher clarity grade can ensure a clean look, as inclusions may be more visible.
-
Color: Consider a higher color grade to offset the cushion cut's potential to display color more prominently than other cuts.
-
Carat Weight: Understand how carat weight affects size appearance, as cushion cuts often look larger than round diamonds of the same weight due to their spread.
Cushion cut lab-grown diamonds exhibit unique characteristics in terms of brilliance and fire:
-
Soft Brilliance: Cushion cut lab-grown diamonds offer a softer, more subtle brilliance compared to round brilliant cuts due to their larger, open facets.
-
Fire: Cushion cut lab diamonds are known for their exceptional fire, displaying a vivid play of colors that can outshine their brilliance.
-
Cut Variation: The performance in brilliance and fire can vary depending on the cut style; "chunky" cushion cut diamonds may have more defined flashes of light, while "crushed ice" cushion cut diamonds might display a more dispersed sparkle.
-
Light Retention: Their rounded corners and unique faceting pattern allow for excellent light retention, enhancing their glow and visual appeal.
Cushion cut diamonds can appear larger than round cut diamonds of the same carat weight due to several factors:
-
Shape Perception: The cushion cut's square shape with rounded corners can cover more surface area on the top of the ring, giving the illusion of a larger size compared to the more compact round cut.
-
Cut Style: Cushion cuts often have a larger table (the top flat facet), which can make the diamond appear bigger from above.
-
Facet Pattern: The unique facet pattern of cushion cuts can enhance their perceived size by spreading light across a broader surface area.
These aspects make cushion cut diamonds a popular choice for those seeking the appearance of a larger diamond without moving to a higher carat weight.
