Cushion cut diamonds are hard to find. The process of locating one may be stressful and you may even need to study heartburn no more to cope with the effects of that stress. If you want to get one, you may have to go to an auction or an estate sale. But this is slowly changing as this style is coming into vogue again and diamond retailers are gradually starting to offer it again.
If you are wondering about the lineage of the cushion cut, you’ll find that it resembles a cross between a modern oval cut and the Old Mine cut which was popular all the way back in the 1800s. It is also known as the candlelight cut and the pillow cut.
A cushion cut diamond may not be as dazzling as the modern cuts, but its ageless mystique and ancient aura lends an understated elegance to any setting.
