A little History on Cushion Cut Engagement Rings

The cushion cut diamond which was once upon a time referred to as mine cut, combines a square cut with rounded corners. It evokes the shape of a pillow which is where it got the name cushion cut. This classic diamond cut has been around for almost 200 years. During the first century of its existence, it was in fact the most popular diamond shape. Until the early 20th century, the cushion cut diamond was the de-facto diamond shape.

Traditional cushion cut diamonds return light in a chunkier pattern than modern cuts. Combined with the enlarged culet this created a distinctive look that is prized today among dealers in antique diamonds.

Partially based on cut research initiated by Marcel Tolkowsky in the 1920’s, refinements to cushion cut diamonds over time. Such as shrinking the culet, enlarging the table, and improving cut angles for increased brilliance, have led to a resurgence in popularity. Many buyers are attracted to the antique feel combined with modern light performance offered by the cushion cut.
