Cushion Cut Diamonds

Cushion-cut diamonds

The faceted design of the modern cushion-cut diamond comes from an ancient school called the "Old Mine". This school dates back to the 1700s. The most popular cushion-cut diamond was then called the Old Mine because it kept the maximum carat with raw crystals mined in diamond mines. For example, the stunning 410-carat Regent Diamond was cut in India and is the clearest example of early, old-school cutting.

And today, you can see the similarities between the modern cushion-cut diamond and the «old mine» cut diamond, which had 58 facets, unlike the modern cushion cut with 64 facets, which gives the diamond a better brilliance. Today, the cushion diamond is distinguished by its square-rectangular shape and contains curved sides that either have slightly pointed corners or are rounded. In addition, a modern cushion-cut diamond will often have four or eight main faces with an airy shape between the culet and the girdle. However, some versions of the cushion cut have been modified to add additional facets to the crown, which differ in that they are modified cushion-cut diamonds.

There are also elongated cushion cut diamonds. However, they are produced much less frequently than the usual square ones. Accordingly, finding them of high quality is not a trivial task.
