Cushion Cut Engagement Rings – Never Out Of Style

Cushion cut engagement rings are known for the fire the cut produces. When one picks out a diamond for an engagement ring, the cut matters. It is the cut which will either sparkle and show fire and luster in the light or not. This fire that we speak of is the wonderful rainbow like light display caused by refracted light upon the gemstone. You want a diamond ring that comes to life as her hand moves with it on her finger. The way the light plays on the gemstone, as if in a dance, and that dance should be reminiscent of your love for her. A cushion cut engagement ring basks in light like a flower feeding of the suns rays. This is why cushion cut engagement rings will never be out of style. The timeless style and class these rings posses are peerless, and second to none.

Many people ask what exactly a cushion cut diamond is. More or less it has a square or square like cut in its shape, it has a roundish finish to its corners. A cushion cut engagement ring typically has about 57 or so facets to it, in the brilliant style, although there are many styles and varieties. The shape of the diamond is often compared to that of a fluffy pillow on ones bed or sofa. Diamonds will often have an impurity to it, in fact most diamonds do, but the jeweler places the best part of the gem, the clearest part on the top, so when one looks into the gems heart, they see fire. A cushion cut engagement ring looks good under any light source, due to the nature of the cut.

Many celebs these days sport cushion cut diamond rings, including Britney Spears’s whopping 4 ct cushion cut engagement ring. A 2 carat cushion cut ring however, will satisfy most women. It is important to note here a cushion cut engagement ring does not have to break the bank either. A less than perfect diamond may be used, one that has minor imperfections, as the jewler will use the best part for the top of the gemstone, which will hide any minor imperfections. The fact is so many celebs and royals buy and wear cushion cut diamond rings due to its sheer elegance, making this a ring which will never ever go out of style.

One other important note I must share with you should you decide to purchase any one of the many cushion cut engagement rings on the market today. You want to purchase a diamond which has been cut not fir its weight, but it’s beauty. A 57 facet cut diamond would be the aim here, as it is most effective in how light interacts with the stone. However there can be other cushion cuts you may find appealing that have more or less facets, but the 57 cut one seems to be the most popular on the market and with most skilled jewelers.

The nice part is, that the diamond used needs to be of decent quality, or the effect is lost. Jewelers know this, so only well cut diamonds are used in cushion cut engagement rings.
