The Timeless Charm Of Cushion Cut Diamonds
Fancy Cuts
The cushion cut diamond boasts a rich history that dates back over two centuries. Originally known as the “mine cut” or “old mine cut,” this diamond shape was popular during the 19th century, particularly in the Georgian and Victorian eras. The cut was designed to maximize the brilliance of diamonds when viewed under candlelight, which was the primary source of illumination at the time.
Early cushion cut diamonds were characterized by a square or rectangular shape with rounded corners and 58 facets. These early versions were hand-cut, resulting in unique, individual stones with distinctive charm. As diamond-cutting techniques evolved, so did the cushion cut. Advances in technology allowed for more precise and symmetrical cuts.
In the early 20th century, the cut saw a resurgence in popularity during the Art Deco period, where its geometric elegance perfectly complemented the bold and intricate designs of the era. Today, this cut remains a favorite among those who appreciate its timeless appeal and versatility. Modern cushion cut diamonds often feature 64 facets, which enhance their brilliance and sparkle, making them a stunning choice for a variety of jewelry styles.
One of the most captivating features of the cushion cut diamond is its exceptional brilliance and fire. The unique facet arrangement of the cut allows it to reflect light in a dazzling array of colours, creating a play of light and shadow that is truly mesmerizing. This cut is designed to maximize the diamond’s inherent beauty, showcasing its clarity and colour to stunning effect.
The cut’s large, open facets allow light to enter the diamond and reflect off its internal surfaces, producing a breathtaking sparkle. The rounded corners and softly curved edges of the cut further enhance its brilliance, giving it a romantic and elegant appearance. This combination makes the cushion cut diamond a popular choice for engagement rings and other fine jewelry.
