Timelessly romantic with a modern twist, our cushion cut engagement rings are adored for their soft, pillow-like shape and captivating brilliance. Blending vintage charm with contemporary elegance, this cut is ideal for those seeking a dreamy, expressive look that’s full of personality and light.
The cushion cut — with its gently rounded corners and brilliant facets — has been a romantic favorite for centuries. It offers a warm, glowing sparkle that feels softer than other shapes, making it a standout for couples who want a ring that feels both personal and timeless.
Benefits of cushion cut diamonds:
Cushion diamonds are the go-to shape for vintage and contemporary brides alike, featuring a pillow-shaped outline with rounded corners — soft, romantic, and timeless. Cushions come in two main cut styles: 'antique' (chunky facets, more fire, romantic look) and 'brilliant' (smaller facets, more sparkle, modern look). The choice is aesthetic — neither is better than the other.
A brilliant-cut cushion has smaller, more numerous facets than an antique cushion — producing crisper, more active sparkle rather than the chunky fire of antique cushions. Both styles are beautiful; brilliant cushions read more modern and lively.
The most popular sizes are 1.5 carat, 2 carat, and 2.5 carat. Cushions face up slightly smaller than ovals but larger than rounds. Popular ratios: 1:1 (perfect square cushion) and 1.15–1.25:1 (elongated cushion).
Both. RockHer offers GIA-graded natural cushion diamonds and IGI-graded lab-grown cushion diamonds. Lab-grown stones cost 60–80% less than natural at the same specs and are physically identical. Natural diamonds retain stronger long-term value.
Cushions come in two main cut styles: 'antique' (chunky facets, more fire, romantic look) and 'brilliant' (smaller facets, more sparkle, modern look). The choice is aesthetic — neither is better than the other. Cushions show more color than rounds, so at least H color is recommended. For step-cut clarity of facets, go VS1 or better.
