Why choose a cushion-cut diamond for an engagement ring?
Cushion-cut diamonds are known for their soft, rounded edges that give them a romantic, vintage feel. They also typically have great fire, which is the dispersion of light into the colors of the spectrum.
What settings are best for cushion-cut engagement rings?
Popular settings for cushion-cut diamonds include the halo setting, which enhances the stone’s size and brilliance, and the classic solitaire setting, which highlights the diamond’s shape.
How can I ensure the quality of a cushion-cut diamond?
Always check for the diamond’s 4Cs (cut, color, clarity, and carat weight), and ensure it comes with a certification from a reputable grading entity such as the GIA or AGS.
