Cushion The cushion cut is an antique-style diamond cut that has recently come back into fashion. It is a cross between an Old Mine Cut (a deep cut with a high crown and large facets that was common in the late 19th and the early 20th centuries), and a modern oval cut. The cushion shaped diamond is squarish with rounded corners and sides.
This cutting style has a slightly softer brilliance compared with newer modern cuts. The cushion cut diamond has grown in popularity for its “old-world” femininity and elegant appeal. Length to width ratio Squarer-looking cushion cuts (Ratio of 1:1) tend to be prefered to more rectangular ones (Ratio of 1.2:1). Cushion cuts should not exceed a ratio of 1.2:1
Princess cut The Princess cut is a square cut with sharp edges. It has very good fire and a high degree of brilliance. The princess cut utilizes most of the original shape of the rough diamond and the weight loss from cutting is low. As a result, its price is usually more attractive than a comparative round cut with the same weight.
Length to width ratio A princess cut with a length to width ratio of less than or equal to 1.05:1 will appear square to the observer. While a squarer diamond is the preference of many, some people prefer a slightly rectangular-shaped princess diamond.
Trilliant cut This is a brilliant-cut triangle diamond – a wedge shape with fiery brilliance. It can be a traditional triangular shape with pointed corners, or a more rounded triangular shape. Trilliants (also called Trillions) are often used as diamond accents in three stone rings and other jewelry settings, but may also be chosen to be set as solitaire diamonds. An equilateral triangle is prefered in a trilliant diamond. Variance in the ratio of length to width should not deviate considerably.
