Cushion cut lab-grown diamonds
Cushion cut lab-grown diamonds, square to elongated, for vintage-style and halo designs.
A cushion has a square or slightly rectangular outline with rounded corners and gently curved sides, like a pillow. It is a brilliant-style cut, but its larger facets give broader, chunkier flashes of light than a round, which is why it is so often used in vintage-inspired and halo designs.
Cushions vary more than most shapes. Some are cut with a pattern that recalls older hand-cut stones, with distinct, blocky reflections; others have extra small facets under the table that produce a busier, more crushed-ice look. Both sell, but customers usually prefer one strongly, so compare images before you shortlist rather than going by the shape name alone.
Outline varies too. A length-to-width ratio near 1.00 to 1.05 reads as square; ratios around 1.15 to 1.25 give an elongated cushion that sits closer to an oval on the hand. Check corners and sides for evenness, since a lopsided cushion is easy to spot in a halo.
Every certified cushion carries an IGI or GIA report and a laser inscription. We sell wholesale to jewelers, retailers and manufacturers, from our Los Angeles office. Select the stones you want and send a request; we reply with pricing and availability.
Square or elongated cushion: which should I stock?
Both sell. Square cushions suit halos and classic designs; elongated cushions read closer to an oval on the hand.
Why do cushion cuts look different from each other?
Facet patterns vary. Some give large, blocky flashes and others a crushed-ice look, so compare images, not just the shape name.
