The way these diamonds are cut allows a person to see through the diamond. Cushion cuts are more soothing in comparison to the modern varieties and look gorgeous at romantic candlelight dinners.

Nowadays, cushion cut engagement rings are more symmetrical than the older examples. This is mainly due to the development of modern lapidary or cutting skills & better cutting equipment.
Most of the cushion cut rings are mainly found in estate & antique markets. These antique rings are more popular with couples than the newer ones, which are being offered by some of the diamond companies.
