The Ultimate Engagement Ring Guide

Cushion cut engagement rings are perfect for anyone looking for a unique and different style of ring. Many women like this cut because it has an antique appearance and is not as common as more modern cut diamond rings.

The cushion cut ring was first called a pillow cut because it represents a plump pillow. These rings were very popular during the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Women loved the look of these rings because candlelight, which was the light of the day, made their rings appear more brilliant.

Often times cushion cut rings will have accent diamonds or gemstones around the main stone in the ring setting. Choosing round accent stone sets off the beauty of a cushion cut ring making it appear even more unique and different.

When considering the cushion cut make sure that your fiancée is interested in this type of ring. If she is interested then start looking for cushion cut engagement rings that are either square or rectangle. You will need to think about your price range as well, which mainly depends on the quality of the diamond. Cushion cut rings look best when the clarity of the diamond is of top quality. This will allow the engagement ring to stand out on your fiancée’s hand.

After you have chosen the clearest diamond, you will next want to look at the color of the diamond. Cushion cut stones can look as if they have a shadow in them if a top colored diamond is not chosen. You will probably want to choose a D – E or F colored stone because they are considered colorless.

For women who are looking to make a fashion statement, like the look of old antique jewelry, or want a unique engagement ring consider cushion cut engagement rings. Just be sure to buy the highest quality diamond in your price range, which has exceptional clarity and falls in the colorless range.
