Engagement Rings Buying Guide

Welcome to the guide for cushion cut rings! If you’re looking for any kind of a ring with a cushion cut diamond (especially an engagement ring), this guide is for you.  I will give you recommendations so that you can choose a great ring for a great price.

The cushion cut is an old diamond shape that has been around for over a century, but is now gaining popularity.  They feature rounded corners and large facets to highlight the diamond’s brilliance. It’s definitely a great cut to buy!

Before I get to the cushion cut diamond recommendations, here’s the first step: make sure you buy from a quality diamond retailer! I recommend James Allen and Blue Nile– they have been rated A+ by the BBB(Better Business Bureau), a 5-star rating from iVouch,  and an outstanding rating by BizRate.

Here are the recommendations for good quality cushion cut diamonds. Choose a diamond with these characteristics:

  • Clarity:  IF to VS2. Clarity is important for the cushion cut because of the large facets in the diamond.
  • Cut: Ideal or premium.
  • ColorD, E, F, G, H, or I. Like clarity, color is important for the cushion cut because of the large facets.
  • Carat: As big as your budget allows.
  • The table % should be less than the depth %.
  • Square-shaped or more rectangular shaped? This is completely up to your personal preference. Choose whichever you like the most!
