Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

Are cushion cut diamonds good value?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

Does yellow gold make a diamond look yellow?

Accepted Answer

A yellow gold setting can reflect warm tones into the stone, which is why pairing yellow gold with G colour or above is recommended for a bright appearance. Alternatively, some choose yellow gold intentionally to complement a warmer stone for a cohesive, vintage look.

Our vintage-inspired rings are brand new, handcrafted pieces that draw design inspiration from historical periods — Art Deco, Edwardian, and Victorian eras. You get the romantic aesthetic of an antique with the quality and warranty of a new ring.
