Cushion Cut Diamond
|
Cushion diamonds are experiencing a resurgence in popularity today. The primary reason for this renewed interest is the popularity of vintage styling in bridal and fine jewelry. Cushion cut diamonds, often referred to as “antique cushion”, resemble a pillow with their square to rectangular shape and soft corners. The earliest faceted diamonds had this appearance as a result of being cut from octahedral crystals with crude cutting tools and techniques. An octahedron could be sawed in two parts, yielding two round diamonds. The corners would simply be partially polished away and a few facets put on the top and bottom of the diamond to give it some brilliance. The overall look would be similar to the cushions of today, but with modern cutting technologies cushion cut diamonds can be much more brilliant than ever before.
