About the Cushion Cut

The cushion cut combines a square or slightly rectangular outline with gently rounded corners, resembling a pillow — hence the name. It is a modified brilliant with larger facets that produce exceptional fire and a soft, romantic character prized by vintage-inspired designers. Cushion cuts are offered in ratios from 1.00 (square) through 1.10–1.20 (rectangular), giving buyers flexibility for both solitaire and halo settings. Anand Exports supplies cushion-cut parcels in a wide spectrum of colours, with the larger facets making this an excellent shape for showcasing warmer fancy-colour diamonds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cushion cut diamond?

A cushion cut is a square or rectangular diamond with rounded corners and large facets, resembling a pillow. It delivers outstanding fire and a soft, antique appearance.

Should I choose a square or rectangular cushion cut?

A ratio near 1.00 gives a square cushion, while 1.10 to 1.20 produces a rectangular cushion. The choice is aesthetic — both are widely traded at wholesale.
