The cushion cut, best known for its pillow shape, is a square or squarish-rectangular cut diamond with soft rounded corners.

At Ancardi, we understands that there are various factors that affect the aesthetic value of a cushion cut diamond, as the skill of the cushion cut determines how much sparkle and brilliance the diamond has, rather than the pattern of the facets, therefore our gemmologists and designers will hand pick the stone to suit our jewellery.

Also, we take into consideration that cushion cut diamonds should also be examined for a possible bow tie effect, our gemmologists will examine the stone under different lighting conditions to check that there is not a persistent bow tie.

While cushion cuts can come in various length to width proportions with ratios, it is really personal taste which shape appeals to the intended customer or design.
