The Forefathers of the Cushion Cut Diamond
It is a well known fact that despite the modern rendition that we now know as the ever popular Cushion Cut, we owe a great deal to its 18th century predecessor, the “Old Mine Cut”. One would find it hard to argue that the highly sought after Cushion Diamond, is a cross between the Old Mine Cut, and the more modern Oval Cut. But it is also the innovation of the process of cleaving that is equally crucial, and a key factor in the success of the modern Cushion Cut.
Why the Square Cushion Cut Such a Hit
Despite not being able to compete with the sparkling light of the Round Brilliant Cuts, the larger facets of the Cushion Cut offers a unique experience to those viewing them, in the form of a more noticeable separation, creating a stunning light dispersion and what is often referred to as the “crushed ice effect”. Add to that, that the Cushion is an aesthetically pleasing shape, most notably as an Engagement Ring, and you got yourself a winner.
Things to Consider Before Purchasing a Square Cushion Cut
Pure symmetry is required in order to form Cushion Cut Diamond that lives up to its utmost potential. In addition, the Cushion is a notoriously difficult shape when it comes to the retention of colors, and as such you might want to consider spending the extra dollars on a higher grade of color.
