Diamond Shapes
Cushion cut diamonds (also known as pillow cut) have round corners and wide surface to bring out their radiance and glow. They have been in demand for more than a century.
The bigger facets in a cushion cut diamond highlight the clarity of the diamond. If you do choose an SI clarity grade, be sure to review the clarity plot on the diamond certificate.
Cushion-cut diamonds are available in square and rectangular shapes. The length to width ratio of a cushion diamond will determine how it looks from the top. To find the dimension of cushion you want, look for the length-to-width ratio in our interactive diamond search and on each diamond’s detail page. For a cushion-cut diamond that is square, look for length-to-width ratios between 1 and 1.05. If you prefer more of a rectangular shape, look for length-to-width ratios greater than 1.15.
