Cushion Cut Diamonds
57 certified cushion cut diamonds available
The cushion cut pairs a pillow-soft outline with crushed-ice or chunky brilliant faceting, giving it a warmth and romance that harder-edged shapes lack. It descends from the old mine cut that dominated jewelry for two centuries.
Cushions are among the best-value shapes: they typically price 20–30% below rounds, and their forgiving sparkle hides inclusions well. They do retain color more than rounds, so consider staying one color grade higher, especially in white metal settings.

Chunky or crushed-ice cushion — what's the difference?+
Chunky cushions have larger, defined facets that flash like a round brilliant; crushed-ice cushions glitter with many small reflections. Neither is better — it is a taste decision best made from video.
Are cushion cut diamonds cheaper than rounds?+
Yes, typically 20–30% less per carat, because they retain more rough and demand is lower. That gap often funds a half-carat upgrade.
Do cushion cuts hold color?+
Slightly more than rounds. If you are sensitive to warmth, choose G or better in platinum or white gold; in yellow or rose gold, I–J grades still face up white.
