Cushion cuts are naturally well-suited to lab-grown diamonds. Their larger facets and vintage character create romantic light play, and the lab-grown price advantage lets you choose a higher carat weight to maximise the cushion's signature charm.

The cushion cut features softly rounded corners and larger facets that produce broad flashes of light rather than the pinpoint sparkle of a round brilliant. Its pillow-like shape evokes romance and vintage elegance, making it a favourite for those who appreciate character over pure brilliance. Available in square and elongated proportions.

The purest choice for a lifetime of wear. Platinum is 95% pure, naturally white, and will never fade or yellow over time. It is denser and heavier than gold, giving your ring a satisfying weight and substance. Platinum is hypoallergenic, making it ideal for sensitive skin.

Under £2,500, a 1ct lab-grown diamond engagement ring in platinum or 18K gold is well within reach — with budget left over for a more intricate setting style such as halo or side stone.

Lab-grown cushion cuts are typically 15–25% less than equivalent lab-grown rounds, doubling the value proposition.
