Cushion Rings
Among the most-loved pieces in our collection is the cushion cut engagement ring. Romantic and refined, the cushion’s soft square silhouette and rounded corners blend brilliant sparkle with a timeless, pillow-shaped outline.
What Makes Cushion Engagement Rings So Special?
The cushion cut offers a beautiful balance of fire and scintillation with a soft, elegant shape. It’s versatile—equally at home in classic solitaires, halos, hidden halos, pavé bands, and vintage-inspired designs—and flatters every hand with its gentle curves.
At House of Diamonds, we focus on facet style, length-to-width proportions, and head height so your cushion sits comfortably, looks balanced from every angle, and shines in everyday wear.
The Craftsmanship Behind a Cushion Solitaire
Corner protection and symmetry are key. We often use double claws or well-shaped prongs on the rounded corners, align the head for even light return, and finish every edge for a smooth, low-snag profile. Thoughtful proportions ensure the centre stone remains the hero.

Why Choose a Cushion Diamond?
A cushion diamond pairs vintage romance with modern brilliance. It can be tailored square or slightly elongated, stacks beautifully with straight or softly contoured wedding bands, and offers endless styling options from minimal to ornate.

FAQ: Cushion Engagement Rings
What is a cushion cut?
A soft square (or slightly rectangular) diamond with rounded corners and brilliant-style facets—often called a “pillow” shape.
Modern brilliant vs antique “chunky” facets—what’s the difference?
Modern cushions can have a tighter, glittery pattern; antique-style cushions show larger, bold flashes. We’ll curate options to your preferred look.
What length-to-width ratio should I choose?
Square cushions are typically ~1.00–1.05; elongated cushions often ~1.08–1.15. We’ll show side-by-side comparisons to help you decide.
Do cushions look smaller than rounds of the same carat?
They can have slightly less face-up spread. A slim band, halo, or hidden halo can enhance presence without changing the classic cushion outline.
Which prongs suit a cushion best?
Single claws keep a minimal look; double claws add a refined detail and security at the corners. Both are durable when well made.
Will my wedding band sit flush?
Often yes with a considered head height. Some designs pair best with a gentle contour band—we’ll advise during design.
Can a cushion ring be resized?
Usually within 1–2 sizes depending on the band and any pavé. Plain bands are especially resize-friendly.
How do I clean a cushion ring?
Soak in warm water with mild dish soap, gently brush around/under the head with a soft toothbrush, rinse and pat dry. Ultrasonic is fine for most diamonds.
