The Ultimate Engagement Ring Guide

The term “Cushion cut engagement rings”, also known as “pillow cut or candlelight diamond” was derived from the shape it resembles, because it looks like a plump of cushion or even like a pillow. It varies in shape, commonly rectangular or square and appears puffy; some are also rounded corners and oval.

This kind of ring became common in the late 19th and 20th centuries, but now has become even more popular due to improved fine cutting styles and skills. The cushion cut engagement ring has about 60 facets, which is around 20 less than other popular rings, such as the princess cut.  This means the “pillow cut rings “ have less sparkle.  They also have less brilliance.  However, they have the same carat weight as other  diamond rings that are more expensive. This can be appealing to many women, who prefer a more simple, less extravagant option.

Cushion cut engagement rings are actually somewhat rare, compared to some of the other modern rings available.  However, their popularity is rising, and their unique look is very appealing to couples looking for something different. If you decide to purchase a cushion cut ring, here are some things you may want to keep in mind:

The size of the diamond,  the sparkle of the diamond, its clarity, and of course its price.   You will want to look into the setting and the type of medal band you plan to have it resting on.  The quality is also of extreme importance, and you can never forget, the price.

The prices of these engagement rings range from hundreds of dollars to thousands, depending on the factors named above.  Perhaps they are a bit expensive, but why would you hold back on your expenses if it will be for your loved one. When you give one of this to your partner the next thing that  will shine is your partner’s eye because of joy and happiness.  If you don’t want a cushion cut diamond, search online and you can view a bunch of others rings such as the asscher cut engagement ring.  You can also check through our list of popular engagement rings, or different engagement ring styles.
