The Benefits of Cushion Shaped Diamond Jewelry

A cushion shaped diamond, with its octagonal shape, is a great diamond cut. The cushion shaped diamond has been around in the past and is around in the present as one of the hot diamonds in the diamond market. The cushion shaped diamond is commonly used in micro pave and halo engagement ring settings to create an antique like engagement ring. There are also many other uses that the cushion shaped diamond can be used for besides a beautiful diamond engagement ring.

The shape of the cushion shaped diamond is octagonal. The shape and the facets of the cushion shaped diamond makes this cut a weight retaining cut. By weight retaining, the cushion shaped diamond actually appears larger in carat weight than it actually is. Because the cushion shaped diamond looks larger in carat weight than it actually is, the cushion shaped diamond is an ideal diamond cut when considering diamond stud earrings. Cushion shaped diamond stud earrings will appear larger, but not be as costly as normal diamond stud earrings in other cuts. The marquise diamond also holds the same weight retaining effect as does the cushion shaped diamond. If considering diamond stud earrings, consider a cushion shaped diamond or a marquise shaped diamond.

Purchasing a loose cushion shaped diamond for any piece of diamond jewelry will allow the diamond buyer to receive an accurate grade of color of the cushion shaped diamond. The money saved in carat weight when choosing a cushion shaped diamond does not mean that the cushion shaped diamond should lack luster or brilliance, so it is best to take the purchased cushion shaped diamond to a diamond appraisal to get a second opinion of the quality of the cushion shaped diamond.
