Our 1 Carat Cushion Obsession is Real

In recent years, we have seen a rise in popularity of cushion cut diamonds. With their soft rounded edges and their pillowy shape, they look beautiful on any hand. Cushion cut diamonds also disperse the most fire out of any cut diamond. If you love the colorful bursts of light and sparkle, a cushion cut diamond is definitely for you. A 1 carat cushion is the perfect size for finger coverage, sparkle, and beauty while still being reasonably affordable and not too over the top. We’re a huge advocate for 1 carat cushion diamonds. They have risen in popularity and we don’t see them going out of style any time soon.

Things to Note About Cushions

A cushion cut diamond combines a more modern and round brilliant cut pattern diamond with a classic old mine facet pattern diamond cut. Cushions are either a soft square shape or a soft rectangular shape in the case of an elongated cushion. The cushion cut gets its name from its resemblance to a pillow with its square shape and rounded edges. These soft clean lines are what makes a cushion cut so desirable. The best things about a cushion are its brilliance and fire, its durability due to its rounded edges, and its classic yet modern look. Some things you should be aware of are the fact that cushions tend to show color more than other cuts. It is best to choose an H color or higher for a cushion. Cushions also tend to look a bit small for their carat weight and that is why you really shouldn’t go smaller than a 1 caratΒ  for a cushion.Β
