Cushion cut diamond and garnet ring

Once referred to as the pillow cut or the candlelight diamond, cushion cut diamond rings are romantic and classic. No longer considered antique cut diamond jewelry, the unique modern diamond cushion cut blends the rectangular and the oval shape, and is far more brilliant than the earlier cushion cut in the 19th century.

In many diamond rings, the cushion cut well combines elements from the emerald, oval and princess cuts. It works well as a solitaire that draws attention to the central gem.
