Cushion cut diamonds or pillow cuts as they are commonly referred to are usually rounded and shape wise, are square to rectangular in form with rounded ends. Their history dates back to the 19th century. Their cutting arrangement, larger-facet than modern, produces a warm, romantic glow, not hard flash, and suggests the coziness of candle light.

The Reason Wedding Bridesmaids Prefer Cushion Cuts
The romanticism of the cushion cut appeals to brides who want to be unique and sentimental. The rounded edges and subtle radiance can help those who are attracted to the old vintage style as in the case of Art Deco or Victorian style whereas its adaptability relates to the contemporary environment such as halo, or simple bands. In 2025, brides in Australia are combining timeless cuts such as cushion cuts with recycled rose gold or platinum to create a warm appearance. The balancing of the shape between subtle glamour and pronounced presence makes it perfect as the engagement rings, which will not overpower anyone. Our cushion cut rings and pendants designed at Pear Jewels are made to suit the unique way of the bride with customization features to make them fit.
Brilliance and Versatility
Though cushion cuts do not flash or glitter as brightly as round brilliants, their bigger facets make them have a unique effect of light, commonly referred to as an effect of crushed ice or fire. This is why they suit brides who want more gentle and romantic light as compared to a sharp one. Cushion cuts are offered in both modern and antique styles and are designed with more sparkle in the modern and old age in the antique ones. They go well with all kinds of settings including solitaires to pave bands to give them a shimmery look.

A one-carat lab-diamond cushion cut could be priced at 1,200-3,500 and a two-carat could be 3,000-7,000, which is not really expensive enough to force brides to spend more money in order to have a bigger stone.
