The Appeal of a Cushion Cut Diamond

It seems that the trends in wedding jewelry are always changing. Here at Lauren B Jewelry, we love following these trends. One trend that is hitting the market hard right now is one that we think will be around for a long time. Cushion cut pave engagement rings in NYC have taken our industry by storm, and it is not hard to see why. This cut of the ring is subtle, elegant, shines beautifully, and has a very classic look to it. We predict that this modern trend will become a staple in jewelry design for a long time to come.

Subtle

The amazing thing about this cut is that it is able to be subtle while still being very impressive. It is made to stand out without screaming for attention. This is due to the way the stone is cut. The facets are made very large, which is what draws so much attention to them. The corners, however, are rounded off. This makes it seem far less imposing despite the large size of the facets. The combination of these two things makes this kind of cut very understated beautiful cut.

Elegant

The elegant nature of these stones has a lot to do with the aforementioned subtlety. The stones can come in many different sizes, but what makes them elegant is their ability to be quite large without being overwhelming. The balance between size, shine, and the timeless nature of the style really makes "elegant" one of the most oft words used to describe this diamond cut.

This cut is also very versatile in nature, making it possible to work with solitaire settings as well as in halos and everything in between. For this reason, we suggest this cut to men who are looking for a ring who can't pin down exactly what they are looking for. We know that girls of every shape, size, and personality type love this cut. It will work with any color of metal, and any kind of setting. This allows our designers to play around a lot with their creativity, which is a fun process to a be a part of.

Shines

The large facets offer the chance for a brilliant shine. This does mean, however, that it only works well with high-quality diamonds. A cut like this on a stone with bad clarity will make for a very disappointing addition to any piece. If you are hoping to get a diamond in the cushion cut, then we highly suggest you look at the clarity certificate very carefully. We can help you look over it to determine whether or not it would be suitable. We are very careful to only select the best of our collection for this cut so they will shine in the best way possible.

Classic Look

While the "pillow cut" is a more modern way of treating diamonds, it has a very vintage look to it. This means that you can get the classic look that you love by using modern designs. We love timeless designs that will never go out of style, and this is definitely one of the benefits of this cut of stone.
