Cushion shape rings are some of the most popular choices when it comes to vintage engagement rings. Almost exclusively found in antique jewellery that was created over 100 years ago, cushion shape rings are incredibly beautiful. Cushion shape rings put the incredible skills of artisan stonecutters of the past on display, as they would have been cut by hand and by candlelight.
Every single cushion shape ring is cut to consider the natural beauty of the diamond, displaying the inner fire, asterism and shine incredibly beautifully. In modern diamond shaping, diamonds are cut to retain as much carat weight as possible. However, in the past before carat was invented, cushion cut diamond rings were made with the diamond quality at the forefront.
The brilliant thing about cushion shape rings is that no two are the same. These diamonds were created through labour intensive work, sheer skill, and perseverance. When you choose to buy a cushion cut engagement ring, you are choosing a unique slice of expert craftsmanship, unlike anything else in human history.
One of the earliest forms of cushion shape rings can be found in the form of the old mine cut diamond. If you see an old mine cushion shape ring, you can be almost certain that it originates from the oldest diamond mines in Brazil or India.
