Many celebrities, including actress Brooke Shields and singer Pink, have sported cushion cut diamond rings. The cushion cut is marked by a rectangular shape, featuring large facets and rounded edges. The style has been popular for many years and has also been called a "candlelight," as the cut pre-dates the light bulb and was famous for how it captured the light from candles.
Selecting Cushion Cut Diamonds for Rings and Jewelry
While the shape of cushion cut diamonds evokes a nostalgic and romantic image, buyers must exercise care when choosing rings with these stones. Though the large facets are one of the key characteristics of the stone, they also make flaws in the stone stand out. Buyers typically opt for cushion cut diamonds that have a high clarity and superior color.
While someone buying a diamond for the first time may have difficulty spotting inclusions in the stone, someone with experience looking at the stones may find them more easily. Buyers can request a report for the stones in the ring they are considering, which score the clarity and color, as well as indicate the carat weight. Selecting a stone that scores high on clarity and color may require choosing a stone that has a lower carat weight or shopping at a wholesale or discount jeweler.
