Cushion Diamond
Going Vintage With Cushion Engagement Rings by Paul Easton
For women who love the looks of the early 1900′s, cushion engagement rings are probably the best choices ever. These unique pieces do not only speak of a long history behind it but can also awaken the romantic in every individual.
The overall appearance of a cushion cut diamond is combination of the brilliance of the multifaceted stone and its simple shape. As the name implies, it looks highly similar to that of an overstuffed seat cushion and can be in any shapes one desires. The puffy look gives it a vintage touch.
Also referred to as pillow cut due to its similarity to stuffed pillows, these were initially designed during the candlelit years. The way they are designed actually gives them a chance to be most brilliant and easy to appreciate even with just a candle light, which is the main reason why they are also called candlelight Diamonds.
Over time, major developments have been conducted making it easier to achieve more symmetrical pillow cuts. However, their slightly asymmetrical appearance adds a genuine spice to being stylishly old. In fact, the best cushion diamonds can be found in most antique shops.
Cushion engagement rings end up with lesser facets than other rings, and the output involves lesser sparkle and brilliance as well. In some cases, the design includes a cutlet made into the stone for additional depth. However, this can end up too large, which creates a shadow in the stone that affects its whole look. Lower number of facets means less clarity and lower quality color. The output includes highly noticeable flaws.
Since the cushion cut diamonds are mostly associated with ancient rings, it is typical to see them in solitaire designs. For those that have additional accents, however, they usually involve ovals and other trilliant shapes to complement the central gem. More so, they are set in such a way that they do not take away the complete attention for the main attraction. They are simply complementary in nature.
Most common arrangements include a cushion cut stone held in place by four prongs that are set in such a way that they do not get in the way of how the ring looks like. Other designs use up more than four prongs, but it is recommended to not overdo the prong arrangement for it can obscure the whole view.
With cushion engagement rings, there is the beauty and romantic glow without the need for flashy effects. They are great for showing a man’s overflowing emotions for the love of his life.
