Cushion Diamond Rings: Shape, Color and Gallery Details

A cushion diamond has a softly rounded outline that can be squarer or more elongated. The word white is often used loosely in jewelry descriptions, but it does not establish a formal diamond color grade. Choose the individual stone by its appearance and documentation.

Separate cushion shape from other rectangles

GIA’s shape guide distinguishes cushion outlines from radiant and emerald cuts. The main ring in this archived gallery has a long rectangular outline with clipped corners. It should not be presented as a confirmed cushion simply because that term appeared in the original title.

What the photographs can tell you

The ring has four prominent center prongs, fine shoulder accents and small stones beneath the center. Its lower band is plain. These are useful setting details to compare, regardless of the final documented name of the center’s cut.

A different gallery example

The photograph below shows another ring with curled metalwork under its center. It is retained from the original article as a separate example of an ornate profile.

Choose without a fixed grade formula

There is no single clarity threshold, facet count or proportion rule that answers every cushion diamond purchase. Compare the stone, its report, the complete setting and the current price. Ask our team about available cushion rings in Boca Raton.
