What is the difference between a cushion cut and a round diamond?

A cushion cut has rounded corners and larger facets that create broad, romantic light flashes, while a round brilliant has precise faceting for maximum sparkle. Cushion cuts tend to retain more colour, so choosing a higher colour grade (G or above) ensures a white appearance.

Are cushion cut diamonds good value?

Yes. Cushion cut diamonds are typically 15–25% less expensive than round brilliants of the same carat weight, offering excellent value for those who love the vintage aesthetic.
