Frequently asked questions
What is an elongated cushion-cut diamond?
An elongated cushion-cut diamond has a rectangular shape with softly rounded corners, combining the timeless look of a cushion cut with the modern appeal of a longer design. This cut enhances the diamond’s surface area, giving it a larger appearance and a flattering shape.
Why are elongated cushion-cut engagement rings popular?
Elongated cushion-cut diamonds are popular for their romantic shape and unique sparkle. They offer a softer alternative to angular cuts like princess or radiant, and their elongated design adds a modern twist that’s both stylish and flattering.
What makes an elongated cushion-cut diamond unique?
The elongated shape of this cut creates a slimming effect on the finger while maintaining the classic charm of a cushion-cut diamond. Its soft curves and balanced proportions give it a graceful and elegant look. Properly cut elongated cushion diamonds also avoid the “crushed ice” effect (a fragmented sparkle) if you prefer a more structured brilliance.
How does the ratio affect an elongated cushion-cut diamond?
The length-to-width ratio determines how elongated the diamond appears:
- Classic Cushion (1.00 - 1.05): A square look with rounded edges.
- Elongated Cushion (1.25 - 1.50): A more rectangular appearance, offering a modern and elegant silhouette.
When you visit our showroom in London, we’ll show you examples of different ratios and help you choose the one that fits your style.
What is the crushed ice effect, and how can it be avoided?
The crushed ice effect refers to a more diffused, fragmented sparkle that can occur in some cushion-cut diamonds. While some people love this look, others prefer a more defined facet structure. Our experts will help you select a diamond that matches your sparkle preference, ensuring you get the brilliance you love.
How do I pick the right size for an elongated cushion-cut diamond?
Here are a few tips to help you choose the perfect size:
- Budget: The elongated shape of this cut makes the diamond appear larger than square cushion cuts of the same carat weight, offering excellent visual value.
- Style: Think about how the length-to-width ratio complements the setting and your personal style. Longer ratios feel sleek and modern, while shorter ones are more traditional.
- Setting: Choose a secure setting to protect the diamond’s edges, especially if you lead an active lifestyle.
What’s the best setting for an elongated cushion-cut diamond?
The right setting will enhance the unique beauty of an elongated cushion-cut diamond. Popular choices include:
- Solitaire: A classic choice that highlights the diamond’s shape and brilliance.
- Halo: Adds smaller diamonds around the cushion cut, enhancing its sparkle and size.
- Hidden Halo: A subtle ring of diamonds beneath the center stone for added brilliance without being immediately visible.
- Three-Stone: Pairs the elongated cushion diamond with side stones for a balanced, elegant look.
- Bezel: A sleek and modern option that protects the edges while giving the diamond a bold frame.
- Toi et Moi: A romantic setting featuring two stones, often pairing the elongated cushion diamond with a contrasting shape like a pear or round. This style symbolizes two individuals coming together and creates a meaningful and stunning look.
Visit our Hatton Garden showroom to explore these settings and see how each one transforms the look of an elongated cushion-cut diamond. Our team will help you create the engagement ring that’s perfect for your style and story.
