Comparing Cushion Cut Diamonds: Brilliant, Antique and Modified: Lauren B Diamond Education

Cushion cut diamonds are probably the most complex diamond shape there is with what seems like endless variations in the way they are cut and appear in real life. They come in square to elongated shapes and perhaps even more intriguing is the manner in which they are cut which determines how it will sparkle. In this video (which we sent to an out of state client who worked remotely with us to purchase a ring) you will see the three major types of cushion cut diamonds. The first is the "brilliant" cut which has a distinct, crisp faceting pattern allowing for broader flashes of light. This is appealing to many as it rivals the sparkle of a round diamond while giving you that sought after soft edged shape. The second is the antique cushion cut which has chunky facets forming a more blocky pattern and is a great option for those who like that old world feel. Last but not least is the cushion modified or "crushed ice" look which will give you a continuous sparkle throughout. All three are beautiful and choosing the right one for you is a matter of preference. Selecting a cushion cut diamond based solely on the certificate is nearly impossible as these nuances in the cut are hard for a casual observer to decipher without seeing the diamond and having the professional guidance provided by a company like Lauren B.
